Hello,
My name is Thomas and I am the guy that wrote that article on FPSLabs.
I just wanted to say that we are not partial to AMD. The Radeon HD3870X2 article and drivers was not at all sanctioned by AMD, and in fact I got in a fair amount of trouble for posting the article on the site. Some advice: Multi-billion dollar corporations can afford good lawyers.
Also, I don't see how saving $10 on nForce 200 when bought for the purpose of using it on X58 will result in any more than $10 savings on an already more expensive board to develop. We will see though. Most of what I wrote is my best speculation so definitely none of it is guaranteed to happen.
