NVIDIA About-Face Brings Questions

There is an interesting editorial posted by C|Net’s Brooke Crothers that examines NVIDIA’a recent about-face when it comes to native SLI support for Intel’s X58 chipset. After months of non-stop Intel bashing and all those “Cans O' Whoop Ass” that have remained unopened, we think most people were caught off guard by NVIDIA’s announcement.

Representative of the shock expressed after the announcement, a headline at AnandTech said: "Hell Freezes Over: Nvidia Announces Native SLI Support for the Intel X58 Chipset." Translation: Nvidia must use Intel supporting silicon to get its technology into future gaming systems--not its own.
