"Video Array, Alienware’s exclusive patent-pending innovation, enables two high-performance PCI-Express video cards, (exact cards from the same manufacturer) to process graphics commands in parallel, thus significantly increasing the graphics performance. It includes proprietary software and hardware, including a video merger hub which ultimately merges the individual signals into one image."

They say it will work with any 2 IDENTICAL PCI-E cards, but they won't be selling the motherboard outside of there own systems...

3DFX.

It'll be reverse engineered and available through other manufacturers as well. Alienware will be the first to put it out on the market though.
