PCI Express and AMDs - from PC stats
Got this in an email :
So as it stands, the upcoming VIA K8T890 chipset for the Athlon64 will support PCI Express and AGP8X videocards, and is expected to arrive around the end of September... if VIA can keep it together. Odds are 50/50 on that. Meanwhile, the SIS 756 chipset is set to hit mass production by mid-September. The SIS756 is probably going to be the first chipset into retail channels to support PCI Express and AGP8X, given that nVidia's next chipset isn't slated to be announced until next month. Expect nVidia's Crush K8-04 solution to arrive under the 'nForce 3' nomenclature. Along with PCI Express and AGP8X support, the CK804 will introduce SLI. If you recall, SLI is a feature which enables the use of two nVidia PCI Express x16 videocards side-by-side on one motherboard. Neither the SIS or VIA chipsets will support SLI, so nVidia will have the corner on that market for the time being. |
