S3 is entering the multi graphics card arena with the introduction of it MultiChrome technology. When two Chrome S27 cards are paired together across dual PCIe 16x channels MultiChrome allows the cards to act as one.

The S27 GPU operates at 700 MHz with either 128MB or 256MB of onboard GDDR 3 also running at 700MHz. The S27 is DirectX 9 capable and features 4 vertex shaders and 8 pixel shaders. The S27 supports shader model 2.0 putting it a little behind the curve in terms of its low cost competitors from nVidia and ATI.

I dont see any point going for these cards in a single gpu solution let alone dual gpu mode. For that price u can easily get a 7600 GT or X1800 GTO. Once u enable AA and AF on this GPU its performance drops a lot more than Ati and Nvidia's. And with the kinda driver support u get the list of no's continues to grow.
