spotted an article in a Taiwanese magazine that explains how you can enable SLI support on the Gigabyte EX58-UD4 motherboard. It's done by flashing the BIOS of the board with the F6 BIOS of the more expensive GIGABYTE EX58-UD4P:
Since you are flashing your board with a different model BIOS, you cannot just use the BIOS QFlash utility or the Windows based @BIOS. Instead, you need to flash your UD4 board with a DOS BIOS flashing program called SPIFLASH - a quick Google reveals it is readily available online. Once you've downloaded the utility, you need to enter DOS mode with a boot disk and simply type in the command "SPIFLASH EX58UD4P.F6", then the BIOS flash update will proceed. Once you've rebooted and gone back into Windows, you'll have SLI support.
Try at your own risk.
