JIm, more on the "don't make intel mad" ASUS mobo (Freeway board IS ASUS) heise.de babelfish.altavista.com (partial translation) Athlon board of Asus not for the retail trade Also the taiwanische manufacturer Asus joins now with the K7M the small group of the providers of Athlon Mainboards. But the K7M is not to appear in the retail trade and experience also no Asus support. Excluding OEM customers can the board into complete computers built sell, they are then also for the support responsible. The board will probably achieve the German market under the OEM names Freeway, torpedo and Terra. But the signature " Asus " is in some places in the manual, on the driver CD and under a label on the Main board. Like already with the FIC SD11 co-operates here the Northbridge AMD Irongate 751 with the VIA Southbridge 68Ã. Asus uses all possibilities of the Southbridge: 2x serially, 1x parallel, PS/2 mouse/keyboard, 4x USB, 1x AMR, Onboard sound, Ultra-ATA/66 and monitoring functions are implemented. The Slot configuration is up-to-date: 1x AGP, 5x PCI and 1x ISA
