Google and Dell are getting cosy. AMD's Socket M and AM2 are to launch before June 30. nVIDIA denies that it's being sneaky in computer forums. The RD580 and CrossFire Xpress 3200 are to launch just before CeBit.

CROSSFIRE needs stronger motherboard support. Two X1900XTX based cards in a RD480 board can beat anything that Nvidia has to offer. That includes Nforce 4 SLI with 32 PCIe graphic lanes with two Geforce 7800 GTX 512, but Nforce 4 is still a better chipset. And we need more high end motherboards with ATI chipsets. Taiwanese firm Diamond Flower International (DFI) tried to do it but it encountered some difficulties in the beginning.
