Yup, i've heard this too, i think it was on a daily tech or something article :D

I know there are some hacked drivers floating around with SLI on intel chipset support, but they are only like the 8xxx revision

Heard that too! :D

The thing i heard about the hacked drivers, was the guy who was making them gave a few select people early beta's of the 8x.xx hacked drivers, and someone leaked it, so he is keeping the 91.xx unreleased :(

Wow. That's the first time I've heard that. Awesome. Maybe now we'll start seeing SLI and onboard WiFi on the same motherboards 8)

I suppose that does make a lot of sense. Intel and nVidia vs. AMD and ATI. Right now, it looks like Intel and nVidia are kicking butt, but I'm hoping that the A-Team will have a strong comeback 8)

This is sounding like Hurtz vs Avis.

OR! That nVidia's intel chipsets aren't that great, so they are letting intel chipsets use SLI technology

Awesome, but will the Intel chipsets still support Crossfire? Could you concevably run CrossFire or SLI with the same motherboard??
