Probably because all of the hyper-transport connected components are from the same vendor (AMD). I'd still consider this series if you can live without PCI-e. Unfortunately there are all sort of compatibility problems between PCI-X cards and chipsets. Compatibility issues are what prompted my move to boards with an NVidia PCI-e implementation. -J -- --Bu8it7iiRSEf40bY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGOl7cWa2BU+b7tU0RAmiSAKCeWZITG3YROxA63WJoXwKo4CZA9wCeKQVp 2CJghnBOTBo+d6gqWsBHR6k= =IrFB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Bu8it7iiRSEf40bY-- -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
