Intel readies SLI-compatible chipset
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: August 29, 2005 - 6:52 AM PST
Category: Motherboard
More Info: http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050828_231427.html
Tom’s Hardware Guide reports that Intel is readying a new chipset supporting Nvidia’s SLI technology. The i975X is an upgrade from the high-end i955X with dual PCI Express x8 capability. Expected to launch in early 2006, it should be cheaper than Nvidia’s own nForce SLI x16, which enables two PCI-E slots at full x16. Even more interesting is the rumor that the chipset might also support ATI’s CrossFire, albeit official compatibility could be prevented by licensing issues.

Intel denies leaving low-end chipset
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: August 5, 2005 - 8:33 AM PST
Category: Motherboard
More Info: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/05/intel_chipset_production
Intel has denied reports that it is abandoning the low-end chipset market. The company admitted plans to move part of its production capacity from cheap products like the i915PL, i915GL and i910GL to mobile and high-performance offers, but called it a temporary move. Such a change, expected to happen as soon as late this month, would give an additional boost to companies like SiS and VIA.

ABIT annouces silent OTES technology
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: May 2, 2005 - 6:20 AM PST
Category: Motherboard
More Info: http://www.abit-usa.com/news/2005/20050425.php
ABIT has announced a new version of its OTES cooling technology that promises to reduce sound level to zero. Q-OTES uses the company’s heatpipe technology to transfer heat from the north bridge to the fins of the Collection Module. From there, heat is exhausted outside of the case by air flowing from the CPU fan. The north bridge comes in contact with a high-grade aluminum heatsink with an all-copper base, which is fastened with screws to ensure maximum contact for heat transfer. The first motherboards featuring Q-OTES technology will be announced in May.
