From the reg (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/31/ati_crossfire/)
ATI may have let slip the name of its upcoming multi-GPU rendering technology.
CrossFire will initially appear in two boards: the Radeon X850 CrossFire Edition and the Radeon X800 CrossFire Edition. The former will only work with other X850-based boards, specifically the Pro, the XT and the XT Platinum Edition models. Likewise, CrossFire-enabled X800 can take control of other X800 products, including the vanilla X800, the XL, the Pro, the XT and the XT Platinum Edition versions, and the X800 All-in-Wonder, ATI said.
Sounds like it's going to give NVidea's SLI a run for its money. I just hope that the ATI boys will get the boards out ASAP otherwise it will be a useless marketing excercise.
