Story was first broken by OCW on April 5, 2006 regarding Nvidia's 82.xx and newer Forcewares disabling Uli's PowerExpress SLI driver for M1697 motherboards. This was confirmed in the Epox 1697 review by Jon H. at PC Perspective. Known affected boards are 3 Asrock models - K8SLI, 939SLI and 939SLI32 - and Epox EP-9U1697 GLI. I am unsure how many other lesser known motherboards have implemented 1697 chips with SLI support.
SLI will still work using 81.98 drivers and driver supported scalable video cards. To my understanding, this does not include the 7600 and 7900 lines.
Note to Moderators: Could not decide which forum would be best, Motherboards or Video. Feel free to move to most appropriate forum.
