Crossfire working on Intel chipsets

[FarFarAway]

Well nvidia did it and it seems ATI have done it too.

They now both have the might of Intel behind their chipsets and ATI's Crossfire looks good

ATI has announced that its CrossFire dual graphics solution will work on Intel 955X chipset boards, as well as its own RD480 boards.

Shweet - gives us all lots of choice: Crossire on ATI and Intel and SLi on Intel and NF4

The 955X has a slightly less sophisticated allocation of lanes to the cards, however, with the primary slot being 16x and the secondary slot being 4x. Intel is adamant that, at least with the current generation of cards, the 4x will not be a bottleneck in the system. This seems a little at odds with Nvidia's view of the bus, given that the green machine has just upped its chipsets to enable support for dual 16x graphics slots on SLI.

Not so good news. I think nvidia will point this out as a deficiency of this chipset

yeah that's great. we would have alot more choices to choose from when it comes to dual_vga_solution/mobo/chipset combo
