Quadro FX1500 - SLI or no SLI?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a new computer with a Mobo featuring Nvidia SLI nForce
    chipset. With it, i bought a Quadro FX1500 GC which according to Nvidia's
    web site DOES NOT support SLI technology.
    But here comes the intriguing part:
    On Control panel>Display>Advanved>Quadro FX1500 there is an option for SLI
    which is currently left blank because there is only one GC installed on the
    mobo (as it says). now i'm confused! does this statment comes from my GC
    driver which is telling me that if i'll add another Quadro FX1500 GC then i
    will have the option to turn it on and actually use it? Or, does this
    statment comes from the Mobo driver, which means that if i'll get 2 GC's who
    actually support SLI (according to Nvidia's web site) and put them on that
    mobo, then then and only then, my system will support SLI?

    Please help me to understand,

    Thanks,
    Gil

    First of all i want to apologize that i didnt post the original massege as
    OT.

    O.K. I've checked further and it does NOT support SLI.
    How did i reached this genius conclusion, you might ask? well, I opened the
    computer and took a look on the GC, and there where the SLI connector is,
    there is a lable attached which says "no SLI supported". :-( that is called
    "whishful thinking".
    But, because I didnt took in account SLI when i bought this computer, i can
    say i'm not very dissapointed.

    Happy new year everyone!
