Off hand it seems like a waste of channels to put both cards in their own X16 slot, which would use up all 32 channels. Yet that could be what is done if 32 channels is a great benefit. Anyone have information about such advanced graphics card applications? On the new Power Mac, one of the two cards for an Apple 30 inch display goes into a regular PCI slot I believe.
