At ATIs CrossFireTM teknologi er på vej bekræftes af at flere bundkort producenter releaser deres nyestebundkort med support for ATIs CrossFireTM teknologi - meen hvad hjælper det når ATI endnu ikke er i stand til at levere grafikkort med support for CrossFireTM teknologi, hvor længe skal vi vente på dem...?
Senest så har
ECS released deres nye Socket 939 bundkort -
PA1 Extreme and KA1 Extreme samt verdens første 955X bundkort med CrossFireTM teknologi - nemlig
ECS PF22 .
Begge produkter skulle være i butikkerne i november.
ECS Elitegroup Announces Availability of CrossFireTM Supported Motherboards 
Nijmegen, The Netherlands, October 31st, 2005 ? ECS Elitegroup today announced availability of its PA1 Extreme and KA1 Extreme, ATI CrossFire motherboards.
Built from the ground up for gaming enthusiasts, the PA1 Extreme and KA1 Extreme motherboards are built on the latest ATI Radeon XPress 200 CrossFire chipsets for both AMD and Intel, supporting ATI CrossFire technology and delivering an unprecedented graphics experience. CrossFire harnesses the power of two graphics cards to render high-definition 3D gaming.
ECS has developed and enhanced the boards with an exciting feature: Scalable D.G.E., which produces increased, supercharged 3D graphics performance and supports simultaneous display on up to four devices (D.G.E) when connected to two independent graphics cards. The added benefit of Scalable D.G.E. over ECS already established D.G.E technology is that it can also leverage ATI CrossFire technology which enables two PCI Express-based graphics cards connected together to work effectively in tandem to enhance overall graphics performance. Not to limit the users configuration options, the technology allows for any single PCI Express graphics card to be used where the need for a dual card set-up is not required.
The
KA1 Extreme supports
Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64 CPU and System Bus 2000 MT/s. Based on AMD64 technology, the AMD Athlon 64 processor family brings unparalleled multimedia performance and high addressable memory. It not only produces superior visuals and sound effects for an incredible gaming experience, but also it provides unmatched PC storage, security and overall system performance. Engineered with the latest technology, the KA1 Extreme delivers faster processing speed, greater storage and higher transfer rates.
Additionally, Advanced dual-core and 64-bit technology is incorporated to increase computing capabilities which reflects a shift to better responsiveness and higher multithreaded throughput. eSATA and Port Multiplier allow cost-effective and expanded drive scalability to storage systems. SATAII and NCQ double the transfer speed up to 3.0Gb/s and enable efficient retrieval of data. Moreover, the board accommodates unique I.O.C. (Instant Overclocking Controller), which intelligently detects system load and instantly boosts frequency to enhance overall performance.
The
PA1 Extreme , the other ECS Elitegroup ATI CrossFire Ready motherboard, supports LGA775
socket Pentium 4 as well as Pentium D CPUs and FSB 1066 MHz . Also engineered to support all the exceptional features mentioned above, the PA1 Extreme supports DDR2 667 memory architecture and high-performance RAID as well.
Availability The PA1 Extreme and KA1 Extreme will be available in November.
ECS Unveils the World?s First 955X-embedded motherboard supporting CrossFire technology Taipei, Taiwan, Nov 2nd, 2005 ? ECS Elitegroup unveils its PF22 motherboard - the first motherboard leveraging Intel?s 955X chipset and supporting ATI CrossFire technology.
Featuring ECS? Scalable D.G.E. (Scalable Dual Graphic Engines) architecture, the PF22 can leverage ATI CrossFire technology. As the world?s first 955X-chipset embedded motherboard supporting ATI CrossFire technology, the PF22 delivers the ultimate 3D graphic experience for the most demanding PC gamers and enthusiasts. Not only can Scalable D.G.E. allow two graphics cards to work simultaneously to generate increased 3D performance, but it also enables the support for simultaneous display on up to four devices.
In order to optimize PC performance, the PF22 also includes the overclocking feature: I.O.C. (Instant Overclocking Controller). I.O.C. enables a system to automatically boost frequency to enhance overall performance by intelligently detecting the CPU loads. This design enables gamers to easily experience the power of overclocking.
In addition to delivering powerful gaming experience, the PF22 is designed to deliver an incredible digital entertainment experience. Embedding Intel?s most advanced chipset - 955X, the PF22 meets all the demands required by digital entertainment. The PF22 supports Intel?s Pentium Processor Extreme Edition, which multiplies the effect of ?Dual Core? and ?Hyper-Threading technology? and enables users to efficiently run multiple demanding applications at the same time. Dual Gigabit Ethernet delivers faster networking; Intel Matrix Storage provides quick and safe access to digital photos, music and video files; 8 channel audio can deliver outstanding surround sound; Dual DDR2 667 memory, Dual Core and 64-bit support enhance system response and provide maximum memory storage of up to 8 GB.
Availability The PF22 will be available in November.
