One of our forum members, WWR, notified me of this little gem. As Toms Hardware Guide is reporting, Gigabyte has a Pentium motherboard with four x16 PCIe slots for a 4 -way implementation of SLI.
At the time, we were told that the firm was working on such a solution. It appears that the company has made significant progress, as the first picture of such a solution has reached our offices. The board, currently named "GA-8N-SLI Quad", shows four PCI Express slots that can be occupied by SLI-compatible graphics cards. According to sources, Gigabyte found a way to combine two nForce4 SLI chipsets on one platform. Interestingly, the board integrates two different versions of the chipset - the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition (Crush 19) represents the Northbridge, the version for AMD processors is used as Southbridge.
How do ya like them apples? Read and drool...or weep.
