Gigabyte provides Pentium 4 support

Newport Beach Our pals at OC Workbench have their mitts on details of a Gigabyte mobo supporting the Pentium 4.

The board, the site says, is called the Gigabyte 8TX, with up to 2Gb of memory support for the Rambus platform, using four RIMM sockets.

The ATX board has one AGP Pro slot, four USB ports, two channel Ultra ATA 100/66 IDE devices, five PCI 2.2 slots and a CNR slot.

The news is good news for Intel, which has been struggling to complete its own "Garibaldi" boxed motherboard design, and also has had little support so far from third party Taiwanese mobo makers. ®

Sony is using the Transmeta 5600, DDR version.

Found a quoted reference at:
cbs.marketwatch.com

The Vaio PictureBook now carries Transmeta's TM5600 600-megahertz microprocessor and includes a built-in scan flip camera. Mark Hanson, vice president and general manager of Sony's Vaio PC product marketing, said the micro-notebook is about the size of a clutch purse, is about an inch thick and weighs only 2.2 pounds.
