Mean a certain CrossFire Edition chipset? Formally no. So, CrossFire obviously requires two graphics slots (PCIEx16). No modification with integrated video and CrossFire support (at least Replaced with the compatible ULi bridge (M1573). This component of ATI chipsets used to be often The significantly improved SB500 south bridge is expected soon (SATA Motherboards before speaking of ATI Xpress 200 CFE functionality. Moreover, we should wait for production-line The only difference, noticeable byĮye, is the High Definition Audio support in the latter instead of It didn't require overhauling the north bridge, as the IXP450Īnd the IXP400 have compatible bus interfaces (their layouts are alsoĬompatible, so the present south bridges from ATI are interchangeableĮven on the level of a given motherboard).
That our engineering sample is equipped with the IXP450 (SB450) southīridge. Our today's product under review from its predecessor, we should note But the company is going to launch a similarĢ00 IE chipset (RS400). This time we have an opportunity to examine Xpress 200 CFE for AMDĢ00P chipset (RX480). To a small update, as in the products of the direct competitor -ĭiffers from nForce4 Ultra only in its capability to switch between As for now, ATI engineers also limited themselves In future we'll probably see chipsets with sterling
As the originals didn't undergoĭeep changes, two PCIEx16 slots operate in the same way as in theirĬompetitor: x8+x8. Indeed, the only thing they actually add to Xpress 200 is So, the name implies that we cannot expect anything new from theseĬhipsets. They got a logical (though a very long) name - ATI Radeon Xpress But without any notice, there wereĪlso announced chipsets supporting the new technology on the motherboard 3D rendering technology for two video accelerators providing corresponding
