the article also mentions, "Intel has landed an SLI licence for desktop, not just mobile". I dont think its the very latest news. Intel + SLi for mobile system has been in-development and advertisment since like late April / early May. but still, it's a good news to share.

updated: Somehow i read the article and get confused. I know i dont make any sense with my reply. Just ignore it.

oh really hmm but there is SLI platform for mobiles out there already. I think it would be nice to see the results of intel's board + CrossFire too.

I dont really get what u mean by that. however, thanks for all the infos guys.

edwin3210, for your information there are mobile system with SLi that already out by now. Even better, a product has been hold just bcoz Santa Rosa is already out, so they are now working to fit Santa Rosa + C2D + SLi (7950gtx for now and 8xxxM for the future). For the dx10 gpus, it is not officially announce yet, but it is pretty much confirmed by back door informant.

To mention the credibility of the information, i do own and currently using on it now. I do understand about it is not practical for our market, but it is not totally impractical. PM me for more info if u interested to know more information about that. We are getting way out of the topic.

I dont see ur point there. At least, if one's mobile system with SLi, the moment he unplugged the power cable, he still left with an hour tops to continue playing his game. How about desktop then? Cant it left on for even 30 seconds after getting unplugged ? make it 5 secs or 2 secs. If u can leave ur desktop on the power cable, so does the notebook. The only difference is the mobility feature, some ppl travel a lot accross regions and countries. the advantage of this SLi notebook is they can bring their powerful system with them. Even at LAN party, SLi notebook will be consider light enuf to carry along in a backpack or such. Try to think globally, not just traditionally will ya. And be open-minded please, not such typical ignorat-selfish kind of geek ok.
and who really play games on LRT ?

JJ is a true dumb to get 4 packs of notebook battery. and why would JJ on the LRT if he owns an SLI notebook? Why wouldnt JJ enjoying his SLi notebook at the back of his Merc during traffic jam on the way to his meeting? or why wouldnt JJ enjoying his SLi notebook while he's having 2-weeks conference @ Europe or Aussie. He probably miss his powerful desktop rig at home but yeah at least he has his SLi notebook with him to finish some levels on STALKER or Crysis.

dude, get a life. and u suck at story-telling. What a bias-n-bad story u have. Try again. U can be as ignorant as u want, but that doesnt stop technology from flowing right in front of ur eyes. U can close ur eyes and tell ppl u dont see it, but u know that is not the truth. Im very sorry if i had offended u or sumthing. I'll say its good that u know the disadvantage, too bad ur r not open enuf to see advantages.

JJ should buy new pc everytime on vacation instead of carrying along notebook....

drift off far from main topic. from Sli suddenly turn into crysis, arnold, watever. back to main topic please...

noob question here, do Intel boards/chipsets support crossfire?
