I was browsing the homepage of this site looking at the ati 9500 ---> 9700 modification and somehow stumbled onto this,

This looks BEEFY!

Hahaha! My sentiments exactly!

That is one weird board; it almost looks like it’s a Photoshop creation (I’m not sure).

Very unusual…

That was my point. Of course, that's the first Quad I have seen. Other than the Quad BP6.

Hmm... Is it just me or does there not seem to be any ATX powersupply connector in the picture. There are 4 way boards though, and I'm thinking 8-way also, but this board just seems odd.

You’re absolutely right

Next to each cpu, there seems to be 2 small connectors that have 40 connector holes in them. I wonder if those are the power supply connections.

Maybe it requires an EPS 12V 24-pin PSU?

Have you found this board on amd's website anywhere? I would imagine they would be showcasing anything like this even if it is a prototype. They say they can got o 8 way cpu's now. That board should be nifty to look at.
