VIA Debuts new MultiChrome/SLI Chipset

There's a new motherboard chipset on the block today, this one unleashed to contend with the mighty nForce4 SLI platform, namely VIA's "K8T900 Chipset".
Partnered with S3 Technologies, VIA have strived to make a solid alternative to the dominating nForce4 SLI offering (and not so dominating ATI CrossFire platform), allowing for two S3 Chrome S20 series GPUs to be used in tandem as well as the usual NVIDIA SLI arrangement.
Also noteworthy is that of the latest VT8251 southbridge embedded, sporting a whole array of new and advanced features across the board.
VIA's official press release can be read over here, and below comprises a listing of websites to have provided their take on the new chipset. Be sure to check back for more links as they come in folks.
