A coisa promete, especialmente por contornarem o problema do usb usando o chip da uli

ATI have been making a lot of noise lately regarding their Crossfire chipset. They clearly want to tap into the lucrative SLI market which NVIDIA has been revelling in for some time now. We at ABIT have implemented our very own crossfire solution, using ATI’s RD480 Radeon Xpress 200 chip as a Northbridge with a four lane PCI Express Interface to the ULI 1575 Southbridge. We have been working tirelessly on making this product the best it can be. It will incorporate all the latest innovations and technological know-how that is ABIT Engineered to Bulletproof perfection. Our µGuru Utility and several new features (NOTE: TOP SECRET) are all incorporated to make this exciting new release from the ABIT stables a product to be reckoned with. Just looking at the picture one can see that the crossfire solution has plenty of peripheral devices and will include some amazing capabilities. An ABIT classic in the making and a winner all around.

"PE", na ATI, significa "Press Edition" :P
O layout dos componentes do PCB e do cooler da X1800XL é quase uma cópia das 6800 GT/Ultra, até ao pormenor de usarem o mesmo mini-cooler passivo nos VRM's ao lado do conector de energia auxiliar de 6pin:



 
Enquanto a ATI não resolver a questão do USB no Southbridge, esta parece ser uma solução bastante viável.
Vamos lá ver o que a Abit faz nesta motherboard...

Estou curioso para testar uma. :)
