Maybe they should re-focus their time in developing a way to get SLi running on all motherboards without the silly NV200 chip - or failing that, simply make a BETTER chip that doesn't get so damn hot and cost so much for mobo makers to integrate?

At worst all nVidia would they'd have to do is put the chip on the GPU rather than the motherboard. Although based on what I know of nVidia's architecture and the fact that CrossFire works on any board, it seems hard to believe nVidia *couldn't* easily make SLI work with any chipset.

There is an excellent article on appleinsider.com, posted on July 30th, that claims nVidia may be in talks with Apple to supply them with a proprietary chipset for their line of upcoming laptops - with desktops to follow.

Apparently, Apple has been unhappy with the fact that they have no proprietary edge with Intel's chips. Basically, what's under Apple's beautifully designed aluminum exterior is basically that which one could find in a Dell or HP computer. Of course, with the Dell and HP costing the consumer as much as 20 to 30 percent less.

So, could nVidia be in line to be the next maker of chipsets for Apple's new line of computers? Only time will tell. We should have an answer, whether it's AMD, nVidia or someone else, by November of this year.
