ATI Working on SLI Technology

According to sources, ATI is working on SLI technology to compete with Nvidia. The code-name is "Multi-Rendering" and the plan to to introduce the technology in 2005. I rather ATI focus on making cheaper and better graphics cards even ones with dual graphic cores vs. trying to match Nvidia feature for feature. Putting all the graphics technology on one card is definitely more efficient and cheaper. Furthermore using up two PCI Express slots and two power plugs isn't that great either. SLI sure didn't save 3dfx Interactive.
