    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    So we can install SLIPatch manually by simply move those 3 files to system32? EDIT: I'm actually on 257.21 with SLIPatch 0.8. Seems to work perfectly.

    All right then. The SLI bridge gave me 2000 GPU points. Hope you'll fix that Pci-e thing.

    Can Microsoft Updates unpatch the kernel? Or only NV drivers can?
