The buzz about the P4
Published: Monday, November 20, 2000 | By: DennisThe infamous non-NS6 compatible website [H]ardocp got their hands on a P4 fitted with the works. Other sites out there have also posted P4 goodness. They are..

I'm sure more will surface in the near future but this should wet the whistle for the time being. -

Tyan Tiger 230
Published: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 | By: DennisIt would seem that Tyan has been busy. In checking out their site today I found this link. Another dual processor board from Tyan and this one looks alot like the rest. A couple of key points.
Onboard Audio
ATA 100 support
The design seems to follow what I call the "reference" design. So far all of the dual socket 370 boards have the same layout, brings back memories of the GeForce 256 of days gone by. -
Quake 3 on ABC News
Published: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 | By: DennisNever thought I would see it but ABC news as conservative as they are have posted a article about the new Quake 3 for the Dreamcast. Personally I'm not much for console gaming but heck with a title like Quake 3 and the ability to frag on the net from a 52 inch big screen. I might just go and buy it.

Pricecombat
Published: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 | By: DennisI suspect that many of you have already seen this site but I'm going to share it anyway. In my email today (most of which is usually junk) I found this. PriceCombat. It seems that Pricewatch now has some competition. Curious I checked out the prices for a 128 megs of RDRAM and the lowest price was 109 bucks!!. Makes me think.. I might be able to afford that i840 dually board.

Tyan Tiger 200
Published: Sunday, November 12, 2000 | By: DennisI am really quite fond of Tyan products every motherboard that I have personally owned has been a Tyan. I was looking at the product matrix tonight and noticed a new dual based on the Via 133A chipset will be hitting the market sometime soon.
From the small picture on their site the layout seems very promising. The sockets are inline with each other (not like the VIA reference design) and is without an ISA slot. So far I have only seen one other motherboard similar to this, and is produced by a small company in Taiwan called Freeway Designs. From what I can tell the only difference is that the Tyan board is a nice rich green whereas the Freeway Designs board is a sexy red.
We can only hope that the Tiger 200 is nothing like the Tiger 133. -

More Duals are here
Published: Thursday, November 9, 2000 | By: DennisI was browsing over at 2cpu today and found that they have indeed gotten a hold of the new dual board from epox
In the coming months there will be quite a few reviews of the dual processor boards that use the VIA chipset.
Believe it or not but there will be a review here at ninjalane.com as well.
Here are some specs of the new system I am putting together. Dual P3 800Mhz (cC0 core), GeForce2 Ultra (to be named), Inno3D MX card (for dual monitor support), 2 Maxtor ATA100 15gig drives on a RAID0 Stripe (unfortunately the dual board I am getting does not have onboard ATA100 or RAID so the controller card has yet to be named). The system should scream. More later when it becomes available.
