		This is, of course, largely down to ATI lacking a 'bridge chip' which allows them to run their native PCI Express cores on an AGP interface and vice versa.
		Although the image is doesnât make it clear it appears that ATI are mounting the RIALTO bridge on the underside of the board, presumably to reduce the amount that repositioning the main graphics core requires if the bridge is on the front, as we have seen with NVIDIAâs discrete bridged boards.
		The difference is that ATI will be bridging their PCI Express products back to AGP in the main, whereas NVIDIA were doing the opposite upon the introduction of their bridge chip.
