Test System: Anchor Creek Platform / 955X With DDR2-667
The test system was based on the 955X chipset (Anchor Creek platform) which is expected to be launched in the May time frame. It will add support for DDR2-667 memory, RAID 5 and Serial ATA II support, thanks to an AHCI device (Advanced Host Controller Interface). Dual PCI Express graphics will be an option, enabled via a small switch.
