if you using low end cards you can skip the bridge since they can communicate thru pciex slot but better use bridge.
you need 1 bridge for dual vga in sli

than what's up with the ppl who uses a 3 or 4-way SLi Bridge when they only got to cards connected or use 2 single SLi bridges? what's that idea? ^^;

It doesn't matter if you use a 3/4way SLI bridge in a two card setup, some people have 3/4-way SLI bridges laying around from the motherboards they bought, so why would they go out and buy a 2-way SLI bridge., a bridge is bridge.

oki, i have also seen some uses 2 single bridges, any extra performance in that?

No extra performance by adding more bridges.

I used to use a TriSLI bridge because it was stiff and helps keep my cards in place.
