zo ik las nog wat leuks op de ATi Main site over ATi CrossFire XPress 3200 voor Professional and Enthousiast systems:
http://www.ati.com/products/crossfirexpress3200/index.html
ATI CrossFire™ Xpress 3200 Platform Chipset is a defining milestone for the PC industry, as it is the first to unleash true, unrestricted 2x16 PCI Express® interfaces. Designed from the ground up for the enthusiast and professional, this advanced CrossFire chipset pumps an unparalleled bandwidth of up to 8 GB/s to each GPU. The result is astonishing performance with brilliant and intense 3D graphics. This architecture increases bandwidth and dataflow and reduces the bottleneck that occurs in other pseudo x16 solutions.
