ASUS MAY PREFER Nvidia motherboards but it has respect for ATI's chipset business as well.This giant Taiwanese motherboard company simply likes to make a profit and is prepared to sell whatever its customers demand. So, while it has a bunch of very successful SLI boards, it still wants to be an early supporter of ATI's Crossfire motherboards.
A very talented team of motherboard engineers at Asus has almost completed the development of the A8R-MVP motherboard. We told you almost everything about it
here but it looks better when you see it in pictures.
We have one picture of the board naked and one of the board covered with two X850 Master and Slave cards.
Enjoy the pictures and expect to see this board and the cards in retail and etail in next few weeks and possible even earlier.
