Update: 100% confirmed SLI support

Sata Ports Note:
If your using long video cards in sli, the middle two 3Gb sata ports will get covered up by the second video card
You'll either need 2 really flexable sata cables or the smaller ones like

-- These are needed for the two sata ports that get covered up by the second video card in the lower pcie slot, if not using those ports, you won't need it

SLI Bridge Notes:
This board doesn't come with an SLI bridge, if using SLI you will need an SLI bridge if you don't have one already
here's one on amazon.com - http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-flexible-bridge-interconnect-connector/dp/B0025VT6LQ
also ton's on ebay for around $5

I've seen it at a few different online sites (++++ forums, as well as in this fry's ad)

It's silk screened on the board

Doesn't look like they include an SLI bridge

Has anyone tried SLI on this board?

I am pretty sure that MSI only includes an SLI bridge for their GD models. The G models, such as the one you linked, still support SLI; you'll just need to buy a bridge separately.

Edit: Hmm, I can't seem to find where I read that. If no one can confirm one way or the other, maybe email MSI? Their product page says N/A for SLI, but it being printed on the board and not actually supporting it would be bad for business.

It supports SLI. MSI support has confirmed this, there is information in another thread I can't find right now. :p
 
Thanks for the info.

Just finished setup of a 2500k on the p67a-g43 with 2 GTX 460's. I was still a little shy about the board as the yes/no on sli was iffy.

I can 100% confirm it supports SLI, now I just need to wait for the SLI bridge to get here. (It pop's up a window, for best performance, connect the sli bridge... also in settings it says for sli connect the bridge)

Awesome board for the price.

Also thanks to those that pointed me towards the Samsung Hard Drives, in Raid 0 these are crazy fast, ~250MB/s..
