Marcel schrijft dat bij Insane Hardware een preview te vinden is van een dual FC-PGA plankje van Asus, de CUR-DLS. Dit plankje is niet echt geschikt als opvolger voor de BP6: een serverworks chipset samen met 2x een 66 MHz PCI slot zegt genoeg denk ik. Desondanks is het wel een heel leuk plankje :
For awhile now, the hardware community has been awaiting the arrival of a mainboard capable of running Dual FC-PGA Processors that would not need the assistance of PowerLeap adaptors. With the demise of Intel's i820 chipset and the lack of i840 mainboards, Asus were left with one alternative when looking for a chipset vendor. VIA were out of the question due to the poor memory bandwidth required to pump the data throught to the Processors so they turned to ServerWorks who are well known in the Server industry for well rounded and robust chipset combinations.
So far the only decent Dual CPU board that we have seen of late has been Abit's BP6, which unfortunately only works with the normal Socket370 Celeron Processors. Attempts have been made to adjust the BP6s taste for CPUs and vendors like PowerLeap have tried to entice the BP6 to accept FC-PGA chips with special adaptors but with out any luck in Dual operation so far. So with the market dying for a new wizz-bang board where you can run anywhere upto 2GHz worth of raw megahertz in the same case, it was upto Asus to some up with a solution.
May I present to you the Asus CUR-LS Dual FC-PGA Mainboard:
