    AGP 8X, there may be something useful in it yet:

    I just downloaded the AGP 8X specification from intel, and found something interesting on page 13.

    Here is a quote from that page:
    "Multiple AGP 8X ports support."
    Sounds interesting, eh?

        There have been chipsets with multiple AGP ports in design for a while now (and I may or may not have seen one).

            Yes, Wombat, but each had an additional Northbridge I believe for each port. Now it looks like this won't be necessary.
