Lol. Anyway, it looks like there will be no reviews posted tonight (midnight Pacific time?). While I was looking around, I came across the review of Tiger MP board by Tyan, and in the review, I came across this sentence: With the AMD 760 MP chipset, AMD is following the trend by increasing the width of the PCI interconnect to 64 bit which, at 33 MHz, results in 266 MB/sec and brings the 760 MP chipset at the same level as the illustrious competition. In the case of the Tyan Thunder and Tiger, the South Bridge used is the AMD 766 I/O controller. Future production boards will most likely change to the AMD 768 I/O controller which reverts back to the 32 bit bus, however, will run at 66 MHz. Instead of 760 MP, the new chipset (combination) will be dubbed as 760 MPX chipset. Is it true? Does it mean 760 MPX will not have a full 64bit, 66 MHz PCI? Joe
