 CrossFire is a brand name for ATI Technologies' multi-GPU solution, which competes with its rival nVidia's Scalable Link Interface (SLI). The technology allows a pair of graphics cards to be used in a single computer to improve graphics performance. Although only recently announced for consumer level hardware, similar technology known as AMR has been used for some time in professional grade cards for flight simulators and similar applications available from Evans & Sutherland, ATI had also previously released a similar dual RAGE 128 consumer card called the Fury MAXX.  ATI CrossFire 
 Scalable Link Interface (SLI) is a brand name for a multi-GPU solution developed by NVIDIA for linking two (or more) video cards together to produce a single output. SLI is an application of parallel processing for computer graphics, meant to increase the processing power available for graphics. With SLI, it is possible to theoretically double the power of your graphics solution just by adding a second video card with an identical GPU.
The name SLI was first used by 3dfx under the full name Scan-Line Interleave, which was introduced in 1998 and used in the Voodoo2 line of graphics accelerators. When 3dfx collapsed financially, its intellectual property was purchased by NVIDIA. NVIDIA later reintroduced the SLI name in 2004 and intends for it to be used in modern computer systems based on the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. However, the technology behind the name SLI has changed dramatically.

 PC users looking for desktop PCs or thin and light notebook PCs have long had to compromise features and performance for value. Traditionally, the latest generation graphics hardware for gaming and multimedia applications has been out of reach for many consumers. Now, with NVIDIA TurboCache technology, PC users can get NVIDIA GeForce 6 and 7 Series performance and features at an affordable price.
NVIDIA TurboCache is available in: the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 GPU for PCI Express thin and light notebook PCs, the NVIDIA GeForce 6200 GPU for PCI Express desktop PCs, and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 GPU for PCI Express notebook PCs.

  HyperMemory is ATI's innovative technology that enables a reduction in the amount of on-board memory on a graphics card without compromising its overall performance. Its advanced memory management technology makes more efficient use of all the available memory in computers with PCI Express technology. Graphics applications can share system memory and use fast on-board memory for real-time processing between the graphics card and the computer's memory. This ultimately increases the affordability of ATI's Radeon graphics technology.   HyperMemory
