ATI is working with VIA and SiS to license out their multi-GPU technology so that you will be able to purchase a motherboard based on an ATI, VIA or SiS chipset and be able to run in multi-GPU modes. VIA is particularly interested in this partnership as they aren't the biggest fans of NVIDIA at this point.
ATI continues to have problems with their South Bridges, and thus, they are turning to ULi to supply the South Bridges for motherboard designs based on their new multi-GPU chipset. ATI's closest partners are currently beta-testing their new South Bridge, but none of them have any confidence in ATI's ability to bring their South Bridges to market in time. While they are all ready to use ULi based South Bridges if necessary, in order to keep ATI happy, they are continuing to work with ATI's South Bridge in their designs.
First availability of ATI's CrossFire chipsets won't be until July or August time frame.
Kinda late from ATi, but oh well, lets hope they get things right and get crossfire cards and mobos shipping to SA in the not so distant future.
