Bij WaveMatrix hebben ze wat info gepost over een Abit moederbord gebaseerd op Via's Apollo Pro 133 chipset! Vrij onverwachte actie lijkt me, sinds Intel FIC al heeft aangeklaagd toen zij een bord met deze chipset lanceerde. Deze Abit VA6 zal verder ook nog eens 50 tot 60% goedkoper worden dan de nieuwere BX en i820 mobo's. Hieronder de rest van de info:
It looks like ABIT has a new board based on Via's Apollo Pro 133 chipset which is the same chipset that Intel has been trying to stop the production of. Its called the ABIT VA6 and according to pricing at a site of an OEM over here, it going for 50-60% lower than ABIT's new i440BX boards and Intel's CC820, or in simple terms, well under $100! Hmm, it looks like ABIT acting like ASUS did with the K7M by not acknowledging that it exists, they don't even have a support page on their site. However, if they did, Intel may sue them just as they sued FIC for distributing boards based on Via's chipset. Anyway, here's the specs: Apollo Pro 133 chipset, Slot 1, 3 DIMM sockets, 5 PCI, 2 ISA, and 1 AGP slot, suppport for 233-733MHz PII/PIII processors, ATX form-factor, onboard Audio, AGP 4x, and ATA66. Not bad, considering your going to save a lot by going this root over Camino, and of course its from ABIT, and who knows, it may even be a good of an overclocker board as ABIT's i440BX boards.
Hopelijk durft Abit nu ook de volgende stap te nemen, een Slot A plank te maken!
))) is een kewl bordje
