If you look at the pitures of the AmigaOne you can see the brand/model of the NorthBridge.
Here is a link that give you more information about it.
I like particularly this article that says Pentium 3, Pentium 4 performance at half the price.
The Amigaone look to be exactely a Teron CX.
Lets just hope that YOU guys order enough AmigaOne to get lower and lower prices.
I guess Bplan used the Articia S to build the Pegasos.

The whole point of an ATX board is it's upgradeable... I aint gonna be keen to upgrade my cpu if I also have to do the motherboard (unless it had some radical gain, eg moving from socket 7 to socket A). iMac's get away with it because they are aimed at people who won't be doing anything to the insides of thier machines... ATX boards are typically aimed at people who build and customise their own systems.
On a further note - the CPU daughterboard/card thing is only gonna really work if bPlan, Eyetech, etc get together and make a STANDARD card system - otherwise you're going to be stuck with having to buy a matching processor card for your board. Standardisation is what keeps the PC alive in this respect. |
