Well, this article strongly implies that all GF3 FSAA will use
multisampling, with three options: 2x, 4x, and "quincunx."  But then,
even after editing, this guy writes like crap, so your guess is as
good as mine.

Over at Anands, here is another statement not quite definitve but
implies that it uses multisampling for all AA:

"The combination of the GeForce3's hardware based multisampling HRAA
and its use of Quincunx patterns results in quality identical to what
you would expect from a conventional 4-sample FSAA solution yet with
the performance hit of what you would expect from a 2-sample FSAA
solution."

By referring to the "combination" of multisampling and quincunx he
suggests that they are not synonymous, i.e. that quincunx is a further
innovation on top of multisampling.  Guess we'll know when the board
is released.
