Dual Graphics with Intel 975X Chipset

Intel launches its 975X Chipset, bringing a new feature - the first Intel desktop chipset to support two PCI Express x16 slots.

From a system performance point of view, there is not much that the 975X chipset can change. ... it performs exactly like the 955X because they share the same basic silicon. Thus, the balance of power remains at its current state: AMD leads, Intel follows. [Tom's Hardware Guide]

It is interesting to note that if the Intel 975X chipset will accomodate both CrossFire and SLI configuration, the current "balance of power" might just change.
