Have anyone seen when asus new DDR supporting mobo is going to be released?

I think it is released, just that it hasn't hit the street. i read somewhere that it is going to hit the street in mid nov?!?!

 

[Oxy]

Ok Thanks. Any idea what the price will be?

 

[Henry Kuo]

I don't have much info on that though... Still have to wait for Anand to send me the board

 

[Noriaki]

Come on curious minds want to know

Henry,

Any chance of you guys getting a hold of This mobo or one with the via DDR chipset?

"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"


All of the benchmarks for the 760 chipset boards are compared to PC133 on a Kt133 board which runs at 100mhz fsb.

If this DDR mobo has a 133mhz fsb then I would expect, with a compatible CPU, that PC133 could run synchronously on it; and get better performance compared to a kt133 board with pc133 runnning asynchronously because it has a 100mhz fsb?

Does the DDR mobo step down to a 100mhz fsb when using PC133?

If PC133 can run at a 133fsb on this type of mobo then I'd like to see THAT benched up against PC2100 just out of curiosity. Is bandwidth the key or simply a higher fsb or both?

 

[Henry Kuo]

to be frank, I really don't have any DDR here. I will focus on KT133 and i815E for now, and Anand will be doing the first few DDR... I think he has gotten couple already (should be right? )

I got the news on the Chaintech board too. It will take some time for us to get the board, but stay tune

 

[rmblam]

Sounds good. THX

Wonder what this '760 delay of chips' is going to do to everyone's motherboard release dates.

 

[noxipoo]

suppose to be delayed till late nov early dec.

According to amdzone.com, that was just a myth. The chipset will not be delayed
