Does Springdale feature CSA?

[SleepyGreggy]

Does it have the CSA bus for gigabit LAN? If so, is the only major difference between the IS7-G and IC7-G the PAT?

The only difference between Springdale and Canterwood is that Canterwood has more aggressive memory controller timing.

It is my understanding that it will be optional. Boards will possibly be produced with and without as different models.

I know for me gigabit lan doesn't matter. I can't wait for benchmarks between canterwood and springdale boards.

Springdale itself does support CSA, however the 3COM Gigabit ethernet chip on the IS7-G specifically does not support CSA.

The only differences between I875P and I865PE is PAT, and ECC for DRAM are supported on the 875P.

Any upcoming i865 boards from the top motherboard manufacturers which in fact do feature CSA gigabit? Am a little disappointed Abit didn't use CSA on their Springdale solution and the IC7-G seems a little too costly.

The Abit iS7 G has CSA.
