Just upgraded to evga 680i, E6600, 2gb corsair ddr2 1066. My 2 6900gt's won't work in sli. Have BFG 650w psu. They worked for almost 2 years on an asus A8N sli deluxe. This is the second evga board (first was rma'd for the same reason, no sli. Tried flashing bios from p6 to P24 to P23 to P21. The second board flashed to P24 (all with the tech's advise), but no sli still. Tried nvidia drivers 84.21 to 91.31 to 93.71. The 93.71 was the only drivers that got me to the control panel and when i enabled sli, and hit apply, the system rebooted and got BSOD.
anyone else having sli probs with this board?

Are there any jumpers/toggles/switches on the motherboard that have to be enabled for SLI to function? Are there any plugs on the motherboard for a 4-pin power connector? On my Asus board I must have a 4-pin connector plugged into my motherboard for SLI to work.

No jumpers, switches, toggles, nada, zilch, zip...according to EVGA's techs sli is automatically....however there is a 4pin molex on board (which incidentally the 5 or 6 techs i spoke to never asked about it)...that is plugged in. Last tech said this was a very strange situation seeing how these cards worked flawlessly on an A8N SLI-Deluxe for over a year and 1/2. He is looking into it. Mailing me a new bridge, just in case that's it. Driving me up a wall...seems i'm gonna have no choice but to get a 8800Gtx...

For the time being the real difference between any current card (incl. 2 high-end cards in SLI) is that the cards with DirectX 10 render pc games with much higher detail. I cant comment on speed but I would easily buy a 8800 based card.
