This HYDRA sounds wicked awsome. It would be awsome to have a 9800GTX and this shizzy 8500GT in SLI for some reason like folding or physx.

I'd so buy one of these boards. Oh BTW nice find

True they'd increase profit on their cards, but they will lose money on their mobo's that come with exclusive chipsets that support CF or SLI. All in all it probably still means more money because cards cost so much more.

I wonder if either nVidia or AMD will be looking to buy out this company?
EDIT: nm, looks like that has already been mentioned in a previous post.
