"If you haven't heard already, the 257.15 Beta ForceWare driver set from NVIDIA accidently had the ability for ATI users to again use an NVIDIA card as a second to do PhysX. The whole ordeal created a bit of drama around the web; as soon as it was discovered by NVIDIA they yanked the driver and put another one up that disabled the ability.
After a bit of uproar, they put it back up but said that it wouldn't be included in future drivers; they kind of dribbled on about how it's expensive to maintain it for ATI cards. It sounds like a load of crap to be honest, because it's been disabled for ages. We're sure in the last few months they've done nothing and all of a sudden it was slipped in and working fine on ATI cards. I don't know what NVIDIA have against making money, but the whole thing sounds stupid."

Includes support for Intel Braidwood technology and 32nm Clarkdale processors. Yep, that's a board based on Intel's H57 chipset - a high end derivative of Ibex Peak that isn't due to reach market until Q1 2010. As with the first Ibex Peak boards - P55 due in Q3 '09 - it'll utilise socket LGA 1156 and support both 45nm Lynnfield (Core i5) and 32nm Clarkdale processors, with the latter featuring two cores and an integrated IGP.
