Just a year after its inception, AMD has canned the Quad FX platform to divert engineering resources elsewhere.

AMD is using suggestive marketing to throw Intel into wasting time and money. Clever *******s....

wonder if this also means the entire FX line of procs is dead?

I never really understood this anyway

If you want a dual socket board, there are loads of server motherboards out there that do it, and you can still plonk that 8800GTX into and get amazing scores ....
I don't even know why they need to do so much work on the consumer level - im guessing because their hacking chipsets that were never designed for this ....

When I asked AMD's reps at the Warsaw event, they said that there would be one, but not right now (I guess it'll come if AMD ever gets its 65nm process working as it should, thus being competitive with Intel at the high-end).

ehh I think its a good move with multicore and soon manycore tech advancing multiple socket boards are as much of need for the home environment as opposed to the server environment, so at least they can put better put elsewhere.

Extremes are capable of breaking that suspension and thus movies can not compare to video games. Where a game relies on you altering your perception of reality all together so that no extreme will remove you from the experience, and on the contrary it will usually pull you in further.
