ATI MVP Mobos to be Priced Lower than SLI Boards

ATI is expected to unveil its MVP (Multi Video Processing) dual graphics card technology later this month at Computex.

Dual graphics card systems will get a lot more interesting for many more users as Nvidia’s SLI will soon receive competition from ATI. Signs from Taiwan indicate that ATI will price its technology in the neighborhood of SLI. Sources told that motherboards equipped form MVP and supporting AMD K8 and Intel Pentium 4 processors may be priced about "2 to 5 percent" below comparable SLI boards. However, ATI had not confirmed its "master card" marketing plan and changes still could surface, we were told.
