what does that mean? can't be SLI support on a non-SLI mobo?
and I have ran my 9800 GX2 in SLI mode in all bios's (no probs)
but
I am guessing/hoping does this bios give better support to Dual GPU Video Cards?

Wow!
u know when I bought my X58-UD3R I almost bought the X58-UD3R-SLI instead (and I saved money!), but I thought if I wanted SLI I would just buy a newer Dual GPU Video Card.
This is awesome news, but why? (don't get me wrong I am not complaining)
I am assuming:
1. the UD3R-SLI will be discontinued?
or
2. There was pressure from Nvidia (after seeing people flashed a UD3R-SLI Bios into their plain UD3R mobo's)

my bet is on #2, and Nvidia said "f u pay me" for these SLI mobo's u (gigabyte) got for free?

either way THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GIGABYTE!
(I got a SLI mobo without paying the "Nvidia tax"!!!!!!!! LOL)

btw
is it just me? or is this Bios refined more than just SLI added? seems like I am able to slightly lower my Vcore and VTT by at least 1 notch, and still run P95 all night? (well last night anyway), unless that is a fluke. (but I tried every bios before, and under 1.5v before and would wake up to a BSOD every time)
Never tested Cold Boot issue yet, as I ran all night. But so far I AM LOVING THIS NEW BIOS!!!!
Good Job Gigabyte!
