For crying out loud NVIDIA is trying to sell balls for kidneys!!

From i975 era we know that SLi is operable on Intel platform via simple driver hacking!

Now NVIDIA is trying to sell SLi to Intel community with their "PEG tunnel chip", after has become clear that INTEL will not give them QuickPath license!

This hasn't got anything with INTEL and NVIDIA making a dill. It's up to a mainboard makers good will and business judgment.

Also NVIDIA is scared that good voice of the new ATI RV770 based cards, and the fact that they work natively in CrossFire on x58 platform will further erode their GPU market share, so they're making desperate moves, and in their own style they're spinning the story in a wrong to justify ripping of Intel oriented users by making the x58 mobos more expensive for the price ot their "magic" SLi chip!

I don't hold that against them I only wonder how some people can suck this up pretending that they don't know that SLi worked on i975 w/o any addon chip, free of charge with just a driver hack!
