VIA Encourages NVidia's SLI Movement

VIA's chipset roadmap calls for dual PCI connectors on both Intel and AMD platforms.
So where do we see VIA going in the next six months? For one, it looks like VIA wants to pick up the pieces where Intel does not; particularly with dual PCIe x16 connectors. As you may recall, Intel's high end server/workstation Tumwater chipsets support two PEG slots, even though one is merely an x8 lane with with an x16 interface. As somewhat of an unexpected, VIA looks like they will not only support, but encourage NVIDIA's SLI movement. It may be the case that VIA is working on some DeltaChrome SLI project of their own, but most likely it seems that VIA does not want to be left behind in the multi display market.
