Nu lees ik bij Ace's Hardware dat er mensen zijn die beweren dat ze de K7M Athlon mobo van Asus in hun bezit hebben. Check deze mail van een Duitser:
"The ASUS K7M ? I bought it a week ago at madex.de for 449.- DM (about 220$). Runs with a 550er Athlon at the moment, will overclock with higher bus frequencies later"[break]Verder is er ook nog een Belg die zoiets beweert.[/break]
A bit later, Wim Bervoets, the fellow Belgian of the popular Wim's Bios page website , reported that Cloetens, a big Belgian distributor has the Asus K7M in stock for about 185$. Asus representatives however REFUSE to talk about their products and say that this product DOES NOT EXISTS OFFICIALY.
[break]Op deze Belgische site staat inderdaad de Asus K7M in de prijslijst (thanks Sake voor de tip
). Waarschijnlijk wordt hier de Freeway Athlon moederbord bedoelt??
Update: Ace's Hardware meldt nu dat de mysterieuze Asus K7M Athlon plank gesignaleerd is in Compaq PC's.[/break]
Even more news about the ASUS K7M... a real "to be continued" series. A big thanks to Lars Buchweitz for pointing out that "in Germany Compaq's Presario PC's with AMD Athlon 500 have a ASUS K7M-Mobo." I quote:
"I have seen today one of these PC's in a great Computer-Market. And I could read for some minutes in the manual of the ASUS-Mobo. But it was to short for further information."
ASUS will launch an Athlon motherboard but they won't confirm it until the official launch date (so right now, no more Intel conspiracy stories please). Nothing wrong with that, I apologies. Kudos to COMPAQ for such an excellent choice...
Wordt vervolgd....
