Isn't there a bridge you're suppose to connect to the cards? Then probably enable something in the drivers. I'm not totally sure, though. I've never used SLI ;P

Looks like this. However, your motherboard will need to support sli. It depends on what chipset your motherboard has. I THINK you need a nForce4 chipset, though I'm not too sure. There's probly a how-to-do thread on sli somewhere here.

Did you switch that thing on your mobo from single GPU to SLI mode?
