Marvell announces Discovery III Northbridge : Comment 15 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jan de Vries on 30-Sep-2003 14:52 GMT | Great good spec, not much better then the the previous marvell tho.
183MHz vs. 200MHz FSB, and 183MHz DDR (DDR366) vs. 200MHz DDR (DDR400) memory bus. Some kind of RAID support (don't know what to think about that.
But still no AGP implementation, so a PCI-X to AGP hack is still necessary.....Which is a shame for a northbridge ANNO 2003.
But it's clear that Marvell is aiming at the embedded market and not desktop/workstation. |
