ATI's x1300 and x1600 series cards do not currently require a master card to run in crossfire, due to the fact that there is enough bandwith on the PCI-e bus to pass the information between the 2 cards. Now, ATI's upcoming chipset will double the number of lanes available to each card. Will this allow for example 2 x1800xl to run in crossfire without a master card? Or am I being optimistic?
 
Yes it will, that is one of the major points of the RD580 (next ATi CrossFire motherboard), you'll need a new driver but it will be released with the RD580 I assume.
 
Is the RD580 going to be implemented into s939, or are they holding the goodness back for AM2?
 
Hopefully Intel's new ICH8 that was mentioned on the front page will also have the same bandwidth and allow crossfire without a mastercard

That would be sweet
 
Waiting for M2 for my next ugrade :) hopefully the new RD580 mobos won't be too expensive.
