Some press-release stuff. Actually, it all seems to be ABIT info this time.
ABIT are holding a Gaming Tournament called ACON4. It's running in 20 countries including Australia. Unfortunately we got this info on short notice and the Vic round seems to have already passed. Queensland and NSW get a go over the next few weeks. The Grand Final will be in China and the major prize is a KIA car! More info on the website or in this 1.2MB Word doc.
PlusCorp sent over some info on new ABIT motherboards. Seems to be somewhat preliminary information because the names of the boards change from document to document, and I don't know how the rumours of Intel delaying the LGA775 socket will affect things, but I thought you might find this stuff interesting anyway:
The AG8 (which is confusingly called the AG7 in some places, including the board pics) is a Grantsdale-P based LGA775 board for Prescott and Tejas processors. Pics here and here, 35KB PDF here.
The AA8-DuraMAX (called AA7-MAX in places) is based on Intel's 925x chipset for LGA775 Prescott and Tejas CPUs. Pics here and here, 66KB PDF here.
The VG7 is a VIA PT890-based Socket478 board for Northwood and Prescott P4's. Picture here, 88KB PDF here, 2.8MB PPT "sales kit" that I can't look at due to no PowerPoint stuff, but might be interesting, here.
Thanks to PlusCorp for that info. ABIT products are distributed in Australia by Altech Computers.
Finally, ABIT asked in an email recently for suggestions for an "ultimate gamer's motherboard". I thought it might be interesting to hear people's suggestions, so I started a thread here.
