So, the name implies that we cannot expect anything new from these
chipsets. Indeed, the only thing they actually add to Xpress 200 is
the support for two graphics slots. As the originals didn't undergo
deep changes, two PCIEx16 slots operate in the same way as in their
competitor: x8+x8. In future we'll probably see chipsets with sterling
x16+x16 for this mode. As for now, ATI engineers also limited
themselves to a small update, as in the products of the direct
competitor — NVIDIA nForce4 SLI differs from nForce4 Ultra only in its
capability to switch between one (x16)/two(x8+x8) video cards.. Read on over at
