Is there anyone in the Dallas area that might have an SLI connector for this motherboard? I have tore my house apart looking for it after I scored a 2nd video card and I have no way to connect them for SLI. I'll meet you and give you a couple of bucks if you have one. I don't think Fry's sells them seperately...thanks in advance...=)

You can order one online for ~$7. I have a spare I could send you if you get desperate, but I'd want a couple bucks and actual cost of shipping.

I'd fit fine.
Not exactly. Some boards have different spacing between the slots, so if one board comes with a non-flexible SLI bridge, you won't be able to use it on another board with a different amount of space between the two PCI-E slots. Make sure you either get a long enough flexible bridge, or if you get a rigid one, that it comes from a board with the same slot spacing as yours.

Almost all boards use the same slot spacing though... All I've seen at very least, since the 680i/780i/790i boards all support Tri-SLI and that connector is non-flexible.
Most do use the same spacing, but I'm just pointing out that it isn't the best idea to take that for granted in case you do end up with a connector that doesn't fit.
The local Fry's here in Dallas didn't have any for "sale" but being the geek that I am, I knew of one place that would have them....So I asked the guy that does PC repair at Frys if he had any lying around and sure enough he did! Big ups to the guys at the Irving Fry's. I really appreciate it! Now I have 8800GT's in SLI...woot!
