Two different brands in SLI?

I'm currently running on an MSI 7800GT nx and I managed to lay hands on an Asus 7800Gt. "Someone" assured me I'd be able to make the two run in SLI since they have the same GPU. However, before I jeopardize my system by trying, I'd like you experts' opinions :) Mobo & psu etc shouldn't pose any problems.

I would say that you would not kill your computer if you tried to go SLI with that setup.

afaik the latest drivers allow you to use different branded cards.

It works like a charm! Just plugged in the card, hooked up power, linked the SLI bridge, ticked the SLI box in my windows settngs and voila: instant extra 4000 points or so in 3dMark05!
Kickass! :D
