Meanwhile, Alienware's award-winning Aurora ALX system is now available with ATI CrossFire(TM) technology. CrossFire enables dual ATI-based graphics cards to work together to accelerate graphics rendering and enhance image quality without any sacrifices to screen resolution in even the most demanding 3D games. CrossFire uses an advanced rendering mode known as "Supertiling," which divides the screen image into tiles, similar to a checkerboard checkerboard the pattern of a chess or draft board; used in many circumstances to display the results of mixing a specific number of variables. The variables are listed in columns designated along the horizontal border and the same or different variables in lines along the vertical , and alternates the rendering duties of these tiles between each graphics card for highly consistent and efficient load balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them .
