Some interesting tidbits...

[911medic]

Over at ARP, they have posted an interview (http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=286&pgno=0) with "Ujesh Desai, NVIDIA's General Manager of GPU". A few things I found interesting (some of which have been posted in this forum already, I know):

-Quad SLI will be released for public consumption this spring (not just in Dell XPS desktops)
-SLI for notebooks is coming
-ATI's upcoming flagship, the X1900XTX will not be available in a Crossfire form, something that this quote from The Tech Report (http://www.techreport.com/onearticle.x/9296) seems to support: Interestingly, the Radeon X1900 CrossFire Edition will be clocked at XT rather than XTX speeds.
-That same upcoming flagship card outperforms nVidia's current top offering by only 3-5% (but remember, this is coming from nVidia)
-AGP support into the near future is confirmed, as long as there's demand. They mention a soon-to-be-released 7-series AGP card, which I assume is the 7800GS discussed elsewhere here.

Still, having the option is nice, especially if you have the money for Quad Sli and the Dell 30" LCD monitor.:D (Definitely not saying I am one that does have the money though, lol)

If you had the money for Quad SLi and the 30" Dell display, you'd buy Quad SLi and the 30" Apple Cinema Display :)

Quad SLi is a great idea, I think. Now we have the possibility of buying four super-top-of-the-line cards (that you can't actually buy) and strapping them together for the ultimate in (not actually obtainable) performance. Perhaps we could even use four of the recently released (not available until February) 7300.

EDIT: Oh, and why don't these interviewers EVER poke and prod interviewees about paper launches and GTX 512s other such nonsense?

Why? The Dell is a better monitor than the Apple.

I can't even afford one top-of-the-line Graphics Card.

[jAkUp]

I sure would love to be able to afford 4 of these badboys someday :)

[Capt. Picard]

I'd love to have just as much Video memory as normal system memory.

Imagine 2GB Video - 2GB System

But do current mobo's support 4 Graphics cards?

Wow, nice find and that's great news. Should be really interesting to see how both of them perform.

It's all opinion, my friend. :)
