I've posted my review of the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 series of Athlon 64 PCI Express chipsets. I've compared it to the VIA K8T980, and the Nvidia nForce 4 Ultra. There are going to be few comparing all three chipsets.

Cooler Master CM Inferno Review
Saturday, 01 January 2011 17:36
The mouse is the bread and butter and ultimate tool
for anyone who plays games on the PC. Over the past dozen years there's been an
explosion in shapes and sizes of it and for all different utilities. It's
evolved quite nicely from a few buttons and a mouse ball to lasers, lights, and
more buttons than most people would ever know what to do with. That, however, is
not the case for gamers. Cooler Master has a new mouse out specifically built
for MMORPGs that are so popular, the Cooler Master Inferno.
Eyefinity Update: New Active DisplayPort to SL-DVI Adapter Thoroughly Tested
Wednesday, 13 October 2010 13:22
The mini active DisplayPort to DVI single link adapter is pictured above.
Way back in September of 2009 AMD flew me out to Oakland, and set me up on the USS Hornet for the unveiling of their Eyefinity multi-screen capable Radeon HD 5870. The demos were impressive, and I had a lot of fun playing Left 4 Dead on a set up that night. It was not until May of this year that my review of the technology was out. It was clear that it showed promise. Monitors were the main problem at this point. There were good games, and the drivers were maturing so little problems I had before were going away. It all boiled down to the monitors.
AMD Eyefinity CrossFire 6 Screen Review
Wednesday, 05 May 2010 15:42
Last September I was lucky enough to have AMD fly me out to California way to check out the unveiling of Eyefinity on the USS Hornet. Its a ship, not a boat. It was quite the tech demo with a variety of games on display and plenty of partners showing off wares. There was a bit of a look at the Frostbyte 2 engine that powers Battlefield Bad Company 2 now, a teaser of Aliens versus Predator, and some Crytek guys were on hand showing off their new engine. The main attraction was the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition that packed 6 mini display port connectors and would single handedly push 6 monitors. Dirt 2 was the demo of choice although we also saw some Left 4 Dead action. Flash forward half a year and now many more games support Eyefinity, and at long last the Eyefinity Edition has arrived.

ATI Shipping PCI Express AMD Chipset
Monday, 11 October 2004 13:48
ATI is shipping their PCI Express AMD chipset according to this Digitimes story.ATI is the first company to ship PCIe-enabled core-logic chipsets for the AMD K8 platform, and this will be its first chipset offering for an AMD processor platform. The company is offering two K8 chipsets, the RX480 discrete chipset, and the RX480 integrated part. ATI will also launch the RS400 integrated chipset for Intel's Pentium 4 platform.
So ATI says they will be first to the AMD PCI Express chipset that is shipping. We have tested the VIA solution, but we are still awaiting boards from the other chipset manufacturers.
