    HOWTO: SLI on a non-SLI Motherboard (GTX5xx compatible 1.0 final released!) - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
    I know you said you tried an sli hack. Well try this one but use forceware 190.62. alot of those people have gotten sli to work with your chipset with a combination of those drivers and that hack.

    Hello Ichime

    Any luck with the 580m in SLI yet?

    And how did you get the single card to work, was it just a plug and play or were there some other tweaks you needed to do?

    I'm very eager to hear you succeed in this.

    Dunno if I can help at all, but I still have my Area 51 m17x-r1 (pre-dell) that I'm awaiting a video card from another NBR member. But I'm pretty certain that you'd want someone with a Dell m17x-R1. Anyway, it's out there if you need help.

    Your laptop is MXM 2.1, Ichime wants somebody with a M17x.
