Maybe, but they could also just be holding off (supposidly like what trident is doing with GFx cards).

what is a crossfire board?

Crossfire is a feature for ATI video cards that allows two video cards to be used in conjunction with each other to theoretically double the video processing power. It's ATI's answer to Nvidia's SLI (which also lets two video cards be used. Crossfire and SLI are mutually exclusive; you cannot use two ATI cards for SLI, nor can you use two Nvidia cards for Crossfire, and for either one of the features the two cards must be, as far as I've heard, identical). "Crossfire boards" refer to motherboards capable of utilizing Crossfire. Obviously, they must also posess two video card slots, most likely/definitely (I don't know if AGP would even work, it's been a while since I've sat down and rifled through computer bits online) PCI-E 16x.
