S3's MultiChrome Dual-GPU Technology

S3 graphics has been making a slow, sustained push for respectability since the arrival of its first Chrome-series graphics processors in 2003. That push continued with the introduction of the updated Chrome S27 GPU last fall, and at that time, S3 hinted at a new wrinkle in its plans. Like ATI and NVIDIA, S3 would be introducing a multi-card graphics capability, dubbed MultiChrome. We got a brief preview of MultiChrome in action back in November, but S3 has been quietly preparing the tech for prime time since then.
The time has come for MultiChrome to make its formal debut, and we've spent a few days playing with it in Damage Labs. Has S3 succeeded in doubling up on Chrome S27 GPUs for nearly twice the performance? Let's find out.

No matter how much time they spend on developing hardware, they just can't seem to come up with anything but not so very decent software (drivers and configuration interfaces)... |
