I seriously doubt that ATI graphics will be included in a nVidia mobo

Another mainboard for 2 AMD Opteron CPUs based on NVIDIA’s chipset – IWILL DK8E – is scheduled to come in the third quarter. This one will carry 8 DIMM slots, PCI Express x16 for graphics, ATI Rage XL graphics chip, PCI-X 2.0 slots, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial ATA-150 support, USB 2.0 and other essential features and controllers. The DK8E2 that is scheduled for late Q4 2004 or early Q1 2005 will boast with some performance and feature-set improvements.

I hope that the boards have decent 64-bit Linux and FreeBSD driver support from nVidia.

ALso, PCI-X 2.0? The first hint of a new PCI-X controller from AMD, an upgrade to the 8131 PCI-X controller, let me call it the 8132!

Maybe suggests that AMD are readying a new 8000 series chipset revision this year. New PCI Express x16 chip (8152), PCI-X 2.0 tunnel (8132) and new southbridge (Serial ATA RAID and other useful stuff, 8112) hopefully.
