Don't have too many choices, only the 980a chipset for AMD. Nvidia is about at the end of the chipset business.

to me i wouldnt even look for sli on amd, if you are really wanting sli, id grab a nvidia system, as they have had more performance per clock lately, and are more flexible with their chipset in accordance to sli/xfire but thats my thought on the matter, you may pay more, but you do get your choice on graphics card choice and flexiblity
Its really hard to tell. Since Intel doesn't make a stand alone graphics card, they allow C/F and SLI to run on their (Intel) chipsets. AMD owns ATI, so there is no way in hell they will allow SLI on a AMD chipset. When Intel comes out with their own graphics card, I would say they will shut down C/F and SLI on their chipset. Which will leave Nvidia out in the pasture field with SLI.
I think you mean Intel, not Nvidia. Nvidia doesn't make any new chipsets for Intel either. Intel allows C/F or SLI to run on their (Intel) chipset.
