    I think that it's a great way to circumvent Nvidia locking out SLI from AMD/ATi.

    Even if they didn't, what's an SLI license these days?

    On a side note:

    I was always curious if the Lucid Hydra was a marketed version of the Project by the Stanford team funded by DARPA of the same name that does the same damn thing.. (I know...Stanford, Defense Dept., Israelian Company? CONSPIRACY!) That thing was supposedly 88mm2 at 250nm according to one of their PDF's...and remember that Hydra is hidden under a nice heatspeader so we don't know how big (small) it is or how many trannies it has. Think about how small that would be on a current process. At 55nm it'd probably be like 20mm2 tops. Someone (please not Intel) needs to buy (please not Intel) them and incorporate that (Please not Intel) into the core logic of their (hopefully not Intel's) chipset.
