My system is a home built with a
Quad Core 9950 125watt CPU
ASUS m3n HT Deluxe MoBo
4gig GSkill Ram
2 GTX260's

I do not have the option to enable the SLI in the nVidia control panel.
It is just not there.

How do I download, fix, or install the ability to SLI my 2 GTX260's??

Yes I do. It is a gold colored ribbon cable and I ensured that the number 1 pin on the video card was matched to the number 1 pin on the ribbon cable. the cable was attached to the set of fingers closest to the DVI ports for the monitors.

Hmmm... I don't have much SLI experience myself so I am now stumped.

What driver version are you using?

OK guys, I got it working. After 2.5 hours with EVGA tech support they tell me that the card is not fully functional. so I return the card to TigerDirect and get a new card. after loading the newest drivers then enabling the nVidia SLI features it seems that all is wonderful in SLI land!
Thanks to all who offered help.

ehh... tigerdirect I don't trust! Next time order from newegg.com or amazon.

Glad you got it fixed. SLI 260's are great, I love mine. Update your current drivers also to the newest 182.06

while I got you guys I am trying to load Unreal 3 and it will install then tell me I need to restart when it does I get a message to get some patch. Then When I launch URT-3 and look at the Task Manager it showes "Not Responding " but the CPU is at 45 - 65 % usage. So I let it run all night and still nothing.
Any ideas
