With the introduction of PCI Express enabled motherboards the world of computer graphics has changed once again. PCI Express has also enabled nVidia to resurrect an almost legendary graphics technology – SLi. Although nVidia announced SLi many months ago, it still seems to be one of the most talked about technologies of the moment.
However, it’s only recently that affordable retail SLi motherboards have surfaced - the first SLi boards were basically dual Xeon processor motherboards which carried a correspondingly high price tag. With the introduction of the nForce 4 SLi chipset from nVidia, that has all changed and you can now purchase SLi boards from most retailers without the need for a second mortgage. One of the first motherboards based on the nForce 4 SLi chipset is the MSI K8N Diamond, and it seems like MSI has pulled out all the stops in order to offer a very impressive SLi base.
