bit of a freudian slip there. Magny-Cours, circuit of the French Grand Prix, surely.
Was this an AMD pun: Many cores; circuit?

Is it just me or did I just learn nothing from AMD here ?

Both the AMD pun and the background to the misspelling can be seen here:

Do these new AMD chipsets support Crossfire? Some of the boards described here (Supermicro at least) have of PCIe 16x slots: some mad gamers, and also graphics professionals, would pay for dual CPU quadfire boxes.

Hi, PCIe 16x slots are used not just for graphics on a server board. Last I heard ATI drivers would not support 4 graphic cards, just 3.
