    Re: News - NVIDIA SLI gets P55 green light

    Reminds me of when AMD bought ATi, and Intel quietly discontined their advertising campagin for the D101GGC motherboard, because the marketing department came up with the tag line:

    Intel, best with ATi.
    Which of course would need to change to the following to reflect the purchase:

    Intel, best with AMD.
    I found a spec page for the board in question. I think that's the one...

    x86 = x58 ?

    Lot of high-end Intel motherboards seem to offer CrossFire for FREE! How come? I thought ATi since owned by AMD wouldnt be happy with Intel.

    Because AMD are in a minority market position and people would just go 'oh well' if they refused to provide it without charging.

    Re: News - NVIDIA SLI gets P55 green light

    Anyone heard anything recently about that Lucid Hydra chip (I think that's what it was called.)

    Wasn't that meant to get rid of SLI and crossfire, by combing gfx cards in an entirely different way. Not that I can remember how it was supposed to do it mind...

    Edit: Decided not to be lazy and used google. Apparently it's still on the cards, and may be around sooner rather than later - It's been spotted on an MSI P55 board apparently: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/News/152...therboard.aspx
