Chaintech heeft in navolging van MSI een Socket 370 mobo aangekondigd dat zowel met gewoon SDRAM als DDR SDRAM overweg kan. Dit moederbord wordt uitgerust met de Apollo Pro266 DDR chipset van VIA. Voor degenen die geleidelijk willen overstappen naar DDR SDRAM kunnen dit soort borden een uitkomst zijn: eerst een nieuw moederbord en dan later pas nieuw geheugen. Helaas kun je slechts één van de twee soorten geheugen tegelijkertijd gebruiken:
(Taipei, Taiwan - October 26, 2000) Chaintech Computer Co., Ltd., a leading designer and manufacturer of motherboards, AGP cards, PC add-on cards and Internet Appliances (IA), is proud to announce the launch of its all-new, trend setting 6VJD2 motherboard. The Socket 370 6VJD2 motherboard supports both DDR 266 and legacy SDRAM (PC100, PC133) memory modules. This board features two DDR 266 and two SDRAM compatible memory slots. Though users must choose between DDR and SDRAM (6VJD2 does not support the simultaneous use of DDR/SDRAM memory), he/she can install up to 2GB for impressive PC performance!
"This is a great motherboard for users and businesses that want to transition to newer, faster PCs," said Eric Chen, product manager. "Our 6VJD2 provides the perfect migration path for the budget minded buyer."
The 6VJD2 motherboard is based on VIA?s revolutinoary 8633/8233 chipset, which is the world?s first mass market DDR memory chipset solution. Additionally, this cutting edge motherboard solution also features an AC?97 audio codec on-board, five PCI slots, ACR slot and ATA-100 support. Further, the 6VJD2 also offers a full range of over clocking options, including 66/100/133 FSB settings and table-based over clocking (30 increments). Also, basic motherboard set up is made easy with Chaintech?s in-BIOS motherboard set up utility.
