No Rdram but DDR400 to the P4 basically i'm drooling now. DDR400 w00t w00t w00t !!!!

ATi to use a ALi southbridge on their p4 chipset.

Nice Nvidia and ATi users get a Cookie.... Yummy

good one!

now we will have more choices.

ALi southbridge is good, but they need to get over the PCI, you need faster links like the VIA V-Link, SiS MuTIOL etc. it would suck.

Maybe there buying a ALi south bridge that soppose to come out with there P4 chipset.

The only good chipset maker except Intel attack again.SIS denied it for now but every is denied before they are sure.

Southbrige

Take ICH4 + peplink + DDR 400 + single chip
Low cost low latency (highbandwith) still lower that Pc1066
Sweet but you can have every thing.

Wisdom dont come with time
Meilleur chance la prochaine fois

the Northbridge for ALi P4 chipset is M1671 and its still using the PCI, and the southbridge is still M1535+/M1535D+

That means ATI chipset is using PCI bus to connect the bridge, may not be a wise decision.

Never know if ATi is buying them they could modify then and use hyper transport.

do you mean they are getting the designs and making one on their own?

hypertransport would help them good, nForce uses hypertransport and does benefit from it!

I believe both ALi and SiS have said they will be developing chipsets that support hypertransport, so I wouldn't be surprised if this new product from ATi uses it too.
