How to enable SLI on a 9800GX2?

Right, I have a 9800GX2 sitting in my PC right now.. and for the last day I have been only using one of it's two chips.

The main reason for me thinking this is because of the performance gain I have got.. not alot.

Plus GPU-Z says SLI Avalible but disabled.

Any ideas?

The control panel comes up with nothing what so ever.

It's not detecting your GPU properley

Suggest you uninstal and re-install with the latest drivers

I assume this in WinXP?

Cannot see why not? Same kernel as XP 64.

Just done a reinstall and it still hasn't appeared.

That caused problems because naturally people were enabling that unsupported option.
I'd say it doesn't look like it is supported

Just use XP? It's not exactly a whole lot difference to 2k3 and certainly gaming performance is identical
