"First AMD-760 Based Mainboard Announced" "Today one of our reliable sources sent us a not about a new AMD-760 based mainboard. The first manufacturer to announce a product on this chipset supporting DDR SDRAM (with AMD-761 North Bridge) appeared … Gigabyte. Congratulations! Although frankly speaking, we have already predicted it in August :-) But let’s not veer away from the topic of our super interesting talk. Gigabyte GA-7DX equipped with Socket A will officially support AMD Athlon and Duron CPUs with a 200 and 266MHz FSB. The board features 2 184-pin DIMM slots for the maximum of 2GB PC1600 or PC2100 DDR SDRAM. Gigabyte decided on VIA 686B as a South Bridge for its new product that’s why GA-7DX supports ATA/100. As for the expansion slots, there is 1 AGP, 5 PCI and 1 AMR slot. Moreover, the mainboard is equipped with an integrated Creative CT5880 PCI sound controller. This is all really cool, but keep in mind that AMD-760 hasn’t been yet announced. However, taking into account this sudden announcement, AMD-760 may come out any minute." ixbt-labs.com Here is the full press release describing the new motherboard. ixbt-labs.com Looks like some RMBS investors pipe dreams that DDR would never come out on a mainboard is seeing the beginning of the end of that wishful thinking. You better hope your next strategy; suing everyone and either winning or causing them to settle works out, else RMBS is in deep trouble. I still stick to my original prediction I made on the RmbS thread.. you will see the official AMD 760 announcement in a few weeks. Hardware sites like Tom and Anand dont loudly hint about reviewing products soon without knowing when the release date is and being under an NDA.
