VIA svarer på nForce4

 

Via K8T900 Pro has two PCI Express slots

 

Attack on Nforce 4

VIA WON'T LET THE K8 market go, at least not without a fight. As Nvidia has its Nforce 4 Dual PCI Express chipset ready, Via had to do something about it.

 

That’s how the Via DualGFX Express chipset was born.

 

This chipset used to be known as K8T900PRO but Via decided to go for a sexier commercial name.

 

You will see an Athlon 64/FX/Opteron chipset that supports two PCI Express graphic lanes. The first one operates at 16X speed while the second runs at 4X speed, identical to Intel's Tumwater chipset. 4X from the second PCI Express slot should be fine to run SLI like functions.

 

This chipset will use a 1GHz Hyper Transport bus and will work with all existing sockets including 754, 939 and 940.

 

The chipset will match the VP8251 south bridge, the one that will give you two additional PCI Express 1X slots, eight USB 2.0 slots, 10/100 LAN card, AC97 96K/20 bit six channel sound card, integrated RAID, two IDE interfaces for four IDE devices and four S-ATA ports.

 

Nvidia Nforce 4 is sure beating it with its 1Gb LAN but apart from that, this south bridge is fine.

 

So Nforce 4 will get a DualGFX Express competitor that will come in Q4 this year and will be sampled in he last days of September.

 

The chipset wars are hotting up and ATI will join in, but without SLI support as it doesn't believe in it.

Glede seg til å se mere av spec'en til dette ASUS kortet, samt hvordan det yter + hvor stabilt det er. Jeg har sikla på nytt AMD 64 bits system siden mai, skal nok gå for socket 939, men siden jeg har venta såpass så skal jeg vente litt til.

 

I disse dagene så er det veldig mye spennende som skjer i utviklings fronten.

 

Noen som vet noe mere om dette ASUS kortet? Pris? Lansering? Specs? etc
