ATI Technologies Inc., has changed the rules of the motherboard industry with the introduction of its CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset-delivering the enthusiast gaming platform of the future. Developed from the ground up for multi-GPU gaming, the CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset enables the world's fastest gaming performance, advanced overclocking capabilities and bedrock stability available in an AMD-based PC motherboard today.

Pretty cool article. Short though. I didn't know where to put this, sorry if its in the wrong place.

That's intersting. I know Asus has implemented nVidia's nForce4 SLI X16 chipset which features two full x16 lanes in SLI (just like ATI's Xpress 3200 chipset), but I guess the difference lies somewhere else? :?

Regardless, even on nVidia's X16 chipset, there is barely (if any) realized gaming performance increase because the games just plain don't requre that much bandwidth (*yet). So it should be interesting to see how this whole thing turns out for the rest of 2006 and the years to come...
