Exclamation NVIDIA Atom chipset can support SLI

As we all know, NVIDIA is slated to launch their chipsets to support the Intel Atom processor for nettops and netbooks. These two chipsets, as discussed before are variants of MCP7A and MCP79.

Although the current 945GM suits the Atom, it is a yesteryear production, lacking in a lot of new functionalities. Only if they have G45, you would get ClearVideo really working to decode H.264 with hardware acceleration. The MCP7A/79 should be capable of PureVideo and thus this is one of the plus point of the NVIDIA chipests.

As MCP7A and MCP79 supports Dual PCI-E x8, it is actually possible to enable SLI support for the Atom based product, possibly in a Nettop. In addition, MCP7A supports single channel 4x DDR2 533/667/800 and 6 SATA II ports, 12 USB, 1 PCIex1, HD audio, GbE LAN and 1394. Would final implementations of NetPC uses all these features and throw in SLI support? What about Netbook ? Would it be the next low cost Desk top replacement if it is cheap to produce. It is also a good opportunity to get rid of those MCP7A which not many desktop mainboard manufacturers were interested in when it was first launched early this year.
