Marvell announces Discovery III Northbridge : Comment 33 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Eva on 30-Sep-2003 19:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (Crumb // AAT): -----
Although the chipset seems to be really good it's a pity the lack of an AGP port
-----
Absolutely not :D
The superior PCI-X Bus can easly manage a 4x Agp SLOT. Also tensions are similar! It need only some little work on frequencies and Bus Transit (with a Apic degsigner is a work of some weeks for a good enginner).
-----
the sad part is that g3/g4s still don't have DDR support
-----
???? Also Discovery 2 supports perfectly DDR ram! Read well the specs! "200MHz DDR SDRAM Interface (400Mbps data rate)"
It uses the same Aplle G5 Bus approach!
... I have to admint that for my bros it's a Apple G5 BUS copy!
Anyway really the best open chipset for PPC systems
And Bplan already use a chip Discovery for Pegasos 2 and with the backward compatibility of Discovery 3 chipsets ... :D |
