A way better alternative to SLI and Crossfire?

This chip and it's drivers allow sharing workload across gfx cards much more efficient than SLI and crossfire. Also it supports using multiple monitors. Seems really interesting don't you think?

I read it and it sounds promising, but I still don't understand- will that chip be placed on a motherboard or what?

As I understand it, it could be placed on the motherboard or on a gfx card. Perhaps also on a seperate card, although that would take up another slot...

yeah probably on the motherboard. Otherwise one 'master' gfx card would be required that contains this chip and that seems too implausible.
