ATI is working on one cool, Conroe-supporting chipset.
It is codenamed RD600 and this one will have no less than three PCIe 16X ports.
As you might know, ATI wants to do a lot with what the chip firms now call
physics. Most especially it wants to get you buying three graphics cards for
your PC. Two cards for graphics will cost you and a third one for physics might
not be super expensive but it won't be cheap either. Of course, it all depends
on what you want, as the top ATI physics chippery comes with the top ATI graphic
card. That's why you'll need a third PCIe slot. The RD600 chipset will support
Conroe, Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs and it is expected in the next few months -
probably before the beginning of Q4 2006.
