That looks awesome in your system. Just curious but was there a difference in your benchmark results compared to the regular sli cable?

Cool. My assumption would be with the pcb based bridge you'd have better signal integrity than the ribbon cable. I remember reading something similar back in the day with Nvidia sli where the pcb bridges had less micro stutters than the flexible bridges I read that on Tom's Hardware or maybe antech one of those sites.

Installed mine in my Nec Proserva with dual P233 MMX chips. Looking slick!

A word of caution - it is possible to plug in the connector with the mating pins off by a single pin width. If you are at a weird angle trying to install it, best to get your eyes head-on to avoid this.

I agree, but there are two reasons I have not filled them.
1) There is no option to ESC the POST memory test and it takes a long time with 512 MB vs. 256 MB.
2) There is only one brand of RAM which worked well with the memory timing hacks implemented and I only have 4 sticks of them.
