AMD has an in house chipset that can support its "4x4" microprocessor. We suspected this for a long time but now we have it confirmed.
AMD wanted to have its own chipset for its own 4x4 off road vehicle platformance but it could not make it on time. Nvidia was the easier and better choice as it had a solid as a rock chipset. Nvidia stitched two Nforce 680 chipsets together and made the heart of the motherboard.
The biggest problem is that you can not plug two R600 or X1950XTX in the current 4x4 and that is a shame. Well, there will be a board that can do it but we don’t know how AMD plans to get it to market. I bet that there will be a new 4x4 board before February time or the launch of the R600.
ATI wants and needs two R600 cards in Crossfire to claim the complete victory in 2007.

Not to be able to connect two R600 or X1950XTX is an important functionality lack of this nVidia chipset.
