yes and no :-}
I've attached the two cards in SLI-Mode to the board. This means that I've 
placed the chip for SLI-Mode (you can see the red chip on this image between 
the two pcie-slots:

This must be done, to run both pcie-slots in 16x mode. If not, only one slot 
is 16x the other is 1x.
And I've connected both cards with a SLI-bridge - but: 
I don't run use the SLI mode in linux!

I'm running a flightsim (x-plane) and have connected three monitors. Because a 
normal graphics-adapter can handle just 2 monitors there was the need for two 
graphics-adapters.
And they are running fine, if I don't append anything in my lilo.conf! But I 
can use just on one cpu-core :-(
I'm not sure if this is realy a problem with the x-server, or?

But I'm really unsure: whats my problem? SMP or Nvidia?


>You're welcome since my last message just hang your machine :))
hehe - that's really no problem!!!
