It depends entirely on the motherboard. I built a PC with an ABIT AN8 SLI motherboard and it came with a card that sat parallel to the motherboard between the PCIe slots that determined whether you were running in normal or SLI mode. It also came with an SLI connector that fit on the top of the two SLI cards to connect them to the very edge connector and contact fingers that you see on the top the that 7600GT video card. Most newer motherboards do not need to use these SLI connectors as it is done via the PCIe slot connectors (not 100% sure about that though). If the connector is needed for your SLI capable motherboard, it *should* be part of the accessory package that came with the motherboard. -- Alan Norton Reviews: ABIT AN8 SLI, ECS P965T-A & Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRS2H Mb's Arizona Pics and Cute Animal Pics http://www.mindspring.com/~anorton1/
