Question SLI bridge?

I've been looking at this Foxxcon board for quite a while: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...%20Motherboard
The only thing that's throwing me off is that it does not come with a two-way SLI bridge that I'll need to work my GTX 260's. My question is whether the SLI bridge has to be made particularly for that board or can I use my bridge from my previous motherboard? Thanks

It doesn't help since you haven't told us what previous motherboard.

On the plus side one of the reviewers posted this for his set up :

I was looking into this, and I see that Newegg's photo does not show an SLI bridge, but the motherboard manual refers to one when it talks about setting up SLI. You could call up Newegg and ask them to take a look inside the box. I'd be surprised if such a feature-rich expensive board didn't have any.
