The chipsetmanufacturer ULi is starting to get some space on the market and its new M1695 chipset for AMD’s K8-series has shown some impressive performance and overclockingpotential. At OCWorkbench where they’ve earlier displayed a ULi-based mainboard running a processorbus at 400MHz they’ve now taken a closer look at the chipset’s SLI-support. What makes this extra interesting is that there is only one PCIe x16 slot on the mainboard. Despite this ULi M1695 allows for two graphic cards to run at x8-speeds in a SLI-configuration. The guys at OC Workshop has tested how this is done and how it performs.
It hardly looks like the most convenient solution but when it comes to the function it seems to work just fine. We’re a bit curious however on how you get the system to fit in a regular chassi.
