Crossfire to work on Intel platforms

[FarFarAway]

Well ATI have done as they promised and given Intels i955 chipset the advantage of being able to run Crossfire

Reports coming from Taiwan's top industry news wire, Digitimes, suggest that ATI has released CrossFire-compatible video card drivers that support Intel's 955X chipset to motherboard manufacturers.

So yeah all good - go buy a couple of ATI cards NOW

We are expecting CrossFire enabled motherboards based on ATI's Radeon Xpress 200 CrossFire Edition chipset to start shipping in August, and we suspect that the Intel 955X-based CrossFire enabled motherboards will ship in the same time frame too.

We get the impression that ASUS and Gigabyte will launch new motherboards featuring Intel's 955X chipset and dual PCI-Express x16 slots for dual video card operation.

Sweet then. Will all mothrboard manufactoreres be convinced and make Intel boards rather than ATI's tho?? Hmm - wait and see.

The problem with that is you need one Crossfire edition card - so it wouldn't work if you went and bought two ATI cards now!
