iXBT-Labs heeft hier een foto met press release gepost van Gigabyte's GA-7DX DDR moederbord gebaseerd op de AMD 760 chipset. Naast een AGP 4x en een AMR slot biedt het bord ruimte aan 5 PCI-kaarten en 2 PC2100 / PC1600 DDR dimmetjes. De southbridge komt van VIA (VT82C686B) en heeft ondersteuning voor ATA-100 schijven en komt met ingebouwde Creative audio. Om het tweakervolk verder tevreden te stellen kun je dankzij EasyTuneIII jumperloos overklokken. Een handige nieuwe functie is overigens het @BIOS wat je de mogelijkheid geeft om via het internet direct je BIOS te flashen.
First AMD / DDR M/B in the market!
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd, a leading high quality motherboard manufacturer, is launching the first AMD-761 mainboard, GA-7DX, for the next generation of computing platforms for the AMD Athlon / AMD Duron Socket A CPUs with PC2100 / PC1600 DDR (Double Date Rate) memory.
DDR266 for both FSB and SDRAM!
Designed with the AMD-761 System Controller, GA-7DX supports AMD Athlon processor with 266/200 MHz AMD System Bus, and up to 2GB of either PC2100 DDR or PC1600 DDR SDRAM. PC2100 DDR memory doubles the data rate through reading and writing, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running at the same clock frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables GA-7DX users to build high performance servers, workstations and high-end PC systems.
ATA-100 is coming!
Together with VIA's latest integrated peripheral controller, VT82C686B, GA-7DX supports ATA-100 interface data rate, which drives burst data to the host at up to 100 Megabytes per second. This new industry standard transfer rate enables GA-7DX based systems to take full advantage of the performance of the ATA-100 hard drives. It is also backward compatible with earlier ATA standards.
EasyTuneIII and @BIOS to upgrade your system easily!
Only Gigabyte can lets you upgrade your system with software Windows utilities EasyTuneIII and @BIOS. With the friendly interface of EasyTuneIII, all GA-7DX users can easily overdrive their systems without the need to meddle with jumper settings.. @BIOS is another useful tool developed by Gigabyte to flash new BIOS via the INTERNET. With only a few simple clicks, you can easily upgrade your GA-7DX system with latest BIOS from Gigabyte's worldwide INTERNET @BIOS servers.
What else?
GA-7DX is an ATX form-factor mainboard designed to support both AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors, enabling the ultimate computing experience for consumer and commercial users. It provides 1 x AGP 4X/2X, 1 x AMR and 5 PCI slots. Creative® PCI Sound, IrDA and front USB connectors are also standard features of GA-7DX. Furthermore, GA-7DX supports up to 2GB PC2100 / PC1600 DDR memory, Hardware Monitor, STR (Suspend-To-RAM) and Keyboard / Mouse wake-up functions. With all the features mentioned here, GA-7DX should be the best choice for you to build your high performance PC system.
