I wonder if ATI could allow Crossfire over nforce SLI chipsets if they wanted to.

It hard to say, I would think they could, but I am not sure. It really depends on whether or not their is anything besides running the 2 PCIe 16x slots that Crossfire boards do. An SLI mobo pretty much is just having the physical slots and pretty much just that.

But on the other hand I think the Vid drivers may have some intnsive conversations with the Chipset that only the Nforce 4 understands because it doesn't work with dual gfx 955 boards.

I think SLI would probably work on Crossfire boards if the driver was written for them but due to the length of time crossfire is taking to come out, I don't think that their cards would work on Nforce4 boards.

Read the review posted by Wesley today. The Crossfire motherboards were delayed because most OEM's decided to pick the ULI1575 Southbridge.

They will start to show next week - DFI will be the first

My DFI rep says it will be closer to 2 weeks, but he's not always very reliable :roll:

so how long until every one else (Asus, Gigabyte, etc..) release them. I want to read a review on a couple and pick the best.

Long thread but it's from a DFI guy who's been previewing the board. Also, it appears there will be two DFI crossfire boards. One is based on the ATI reference design and one developed by DFI. Good reading.

Well - it was workin on time I've posted it - I can't find it there anymore too

But it probably means they put it to their system and it will be avaible soon...

That is a cramped looking motherboard if I've ever seen one.

Any 955 Intel chipset board can run crossfire. You don't need to use some lame ATI chipset to use crossfire. Check out the thread on XS from the guy running crossfire on the Asus P5WD2 Premium.

Link is working again

Does anyone else think this is way over priced?
Maybe I can wait for few weeks to drop to $100.
As it stands I will wait for the NV6150 or go with the ASrock ULI motherboard.
They work for my needs (notice i said my needs) just as well and for alot less.
