http://www.hothardware.com/News/Diamond_Multimedias_XDNA/ heres a link to the 3870 that can do it..i'm hoping it will work for all brands..if this works and gets out nvidia can be in trouble =D

"Diamond xDNA technology-enabled features allow for multi platform, cross compatibility, CPU & chipset agnostic support for any motherboard. xDNA allows Diamond Radeon graphics cards to run CrossFire™ on Nvidia, Intel, or AMD chipsets."

w00t, though SLI on the P35 and P45 would probably be bigger news.

1 question... why is this on the nvidia gfx section?

Its good news but id much rather have SLI on intel chipsets...

Oh, don't worry, he also posted it in the ATI section. Probably shoulda gone in general GPU section, but he got a little too excited thinking people would care ;)

It might prove to be quite important if R800 is any good.

i dont see why you would want to run Crossfire on an nvidia chipset over an intel chipset... intel chipset boards are cheaper and clock better...

Pulls up pants .. Puffs out chest !!

"Check out crossfire on my nforce" :D

True that. However if someone wants to run both or bench both on the same board, they'd need the SLI chipset as you can't run SLI on an Intel P35 or better chipset...yet.

id much rather see it go the way of SLI on intel chipsets.... u imagine sli on the x38.... 2x pcie 2.0 16x slots... with 550+ fsb... mmmmmmmm

sounds like the X48 :D

x48 ... nvidia has yet to allow sli on any intel chipsets.

[>HyperlogiK<]

Do the X48 boards that are out there not support SLI yet then?

[JamesXP]

They support it, but nVidia doesn't allow intel to have the license to run SLi, Skulltrail can run SLi because it has a secondary chip 'MCP100' which the PCIe lanes are ran on... becuase the MCP100 is a nV chip SLi is allowed to run.
