Cheap(er) NF4 SLI motherboard on their way
 

One of the interesting things we saw was DFI's implementation of SLI- they're planning on using the nForce4 ultra chipset which does not offer SLI support and yet provide the ability to run an SLI setup. They are doing this by having a standard x16 PCI-E slot and another x4 PCI-E slot. According to them, the performance difference is SLI mode will be less than 5% while the cost of this chipset compared to the SLI chipset will be about $20 less- certainly a big difference. MSI will also be making a motherboard with the nForce4 ultra chipset in an SLI form.
