R2XX scales fairly well, to boot... hmmm.

I wonder if these will share or have dedicated ddr.

And X-Bit's crying "affordable" already.

So, this mobo may try to give nforce2 a late run for it's money...

See, if they make an AFFORDABLE microATX version of this, I might bite... and throw a 1.6 @ 2.4 (affordable) in there and enjoy decent integrated gfx... My current home theatre pc is too big and noisy...

...finally, DX8 integrated gfx... kewl.

Wonder what the clockspeeds will be.

Some tech specs and benchies here but it looks like its the 150 chipset and theres a more feature rich one. Hmmm youd think Intel would'nt like the compitition from another brand of IGP's.

Anyone know if they intend to try for the AMD market?
And do they have a intergrated sound chip other than ac97?

Yes they are indeed, although as far as i know they use nasic AC97 sound, possibly it will use VIA's Vinyl Eight-TRAC sound chip.

ATI RS480 w/ Radeon 9600SE intergrated
ATI IXP400 Stand alone board w/ no gfx.

I am thinking of an Athlon 64 / 64 FX with an ATI IXP400 to go with my RADEON 9800 :)
