“Even though NVIDIA’s SLI has been in existence for quite some
time now, the talented engineers over at ASRock have yet to
introduce a single motherboard that is able to utilize this
innovative multi-GPU technology. Meanwhile, ATI’s CrossFire is
still in its infancy as it was launched this past June when we were
covering the happenings at Computex Taipei 2005. The folks over at
ASRock have just unleashed its latest in an arsenal of LGA-775
motherboards, and among other things, the 775XFire-eSATA2
motherboard supports CrossFire. Unfortunately, the red developers
have yet to officially append any Linux CrossFire support to its
proprietary fglrx display drivers nor is there any public comment
on when ATI’s multi-GPU technology will make its way to penguin
computing. If you will recall, it took a staggering thirteen months
until NVIDIA had appended Scalable Link Interface support to its
Linux counterpart, and over a month later, the SLI performance is
still very much lackluster. Although we have no viable time frame
until the introduction of CrossFire for Linux, we have just
received ASRock’s 775XFire-eSATA2, which also supports Microsoft
Windows Vista, Untied Overclocking Technology, and four SATA 2.0
ports…”
