Asus A8N-SLI Premium Allows SLI to be Enabled in Software

A8N-SLI Premium In Detail

As you can see, the little board and socket that normally would appear between the x16 PCIe connectors is missing; instead, Asus has placed there a couple of electrical components. Switching from single mode to SLI mode can be done in software; all you need to do is select the desired mode in the BIOS or using Asus' AI Selector tool.

The A8N-SLI Premium should be in the shelves like this.

Asus does not include serial ports on the back panel any more.
