Ack, no block diagram in MSI's manual.
It's an AMD8131+AMD8111, no HyperTransport tunnel for any video channels.
So you can probably assume AMD8111 bridge attached to AMD8131 tunnel to
CPU #0. Since there is only one high-speed tunnel, you really can't get more
optimal than adding another HT tunnel chip.
I guess I'm just looking for the "holy grail" in (2) AMD813x's on a 2-way board.
