I just got an email from Biostar saying that they can't fix their broken TA790GX-128M boards with a bios update.
(they tried to save money on PCIE switching ICs by using a hard-wired design that can only detect x2 identicle ATI cards)
so with no chance of SLI on my new system I have gone over to the dark side:

...the dark red side!
There's nothing wrong with those boards, it's an ATI chipset meaning it's designed to work with ATI videocards. you can't run cooperative video with the wrong type of card. If you wanted SLI you should have gotten an NVidia chipset based MB

First...Many thanks to all who have put so much work into this project !!
I have been trying to get this to work on my mobo with no luck.
Gigabyte GA-P-35 DQ6 mobo
I am using a pair of identical EVGA 8800GS's
Win7 x64 Build 7600 - Clean install
191.07 drivers
Halmod method ( Shows testmode watermark on desktop )
I think the problem lies with not recognizing the injected sli string. I have used several versions of string installer and even tried it manually. But CPUZ still reports it as a P35 and no sli option in Nvidia control panel.
I am not sure where to go from here or what to try next. I have read all 82 pages of this post over the last few weeks and tried many suggestions but no luck.
I will attach my DSDT table with the hope that someone will spot the trouble.
Thanks in advance
Scott
1 - Install Win7 RC x64.
2 - Install System and 191.07 Win7 x64 (WHQL) drivers.
3 - Disable UAC.
4 - Restart.
5 - Run SLI String Installer v1.81 as Admin select ASUS certificate.
6 - Run HAL Mod 0.9a as Admin

Thank you for the prompt reply.
I am not sure what "Install System" means in #2, obviously not the OS that was done in #1
Other than the "Install System" I have done those exact steps many times. Even running String installer and Hal Mod from a admin command prompt.
Additional info
Both cards installed and connected by sli bridge. Only 1 monitor nothing connected to second card.
Both cards show in device manager and GPUZ as working properly and work fine on another sli board.
CPUZ always shows a P35 chipset
Thanks again
Scott
With the latest HalMod it will show P35 is correct. Earlier versions showed X58.
Look in Device Manager, under System Devices for Microsoft Windows Management Interface for ACPI
to see if it is there, also check Hardware Ids should show: ACPI\pnp0c14
