CrossFire for everyone with RD500

"According to rumours heard at Computex, ATI would be preparing the release of the RD500, a low cost chipset for Intel CPU that would be designed to have the best quality / price ratio possible. This chipset would be associated to the new Southbridge SB600 that support SATA II, HD Audio and would increase the low performances of ATI's previous Southbridge in USB. It would also support the Core 2 Duo and of course the CrossFire (PCIE 8x) It won't however support dual channel and will accept only 2 DIMMs. It would be the ideal compromise for ATI because these choices would permit the release of a motherboard at $50. Will the price gap with a more expensive card be enough to buy a second card that will process physics effect?"
