Turns out you can run SLI on your older Intel chipsets after all. Also since when is P45 and X48 already old?

Dont know about you guys but I really pissed of at Nvidia right now. This arrogant move by Nvidia cost them at least two sales on my part; another GTX 280 and 8800 Ultra. Way to go guys!

One reader named Firewings [CCG] at Expreview forum (Chinese version) has figured out the way to get SLI support for its Asus Maximus Formula motherboard based on Intel X38 chipset, with one NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT and one GeForce GTX 260 graphics card.

Firewings_[CCG] successfully ran SLI of GeForce 8600 GT and GeForce GTX 260 cards on his Intel X38+ICH9R chipset based ASUS Maximus Formula motherboard. The feat is headed by software he modified, details of which will surface soon. The mod was validated by Expreview staff, who used the software to run GeForce GTX 260 SLI on a more recent P45+ICH10R based Maximus II Formula motherboard.
