There is also excitement in the Intel camp at CES. The next generation Intel chipsets, called Grantsdale and Alderwood, were on display or talked about in early 2004 roadmaps. Grantsdale roughty assumes the role of 865PE (Springdale), while Alderwood is the high performance replacement for 875P (Canterwood). The low end Grantsdale chipset is expected to perform about the same as today's high end 875P boards. Alderwood should deliver a 5% increase in performance.
Both Grantsdale and Canterwood will support DDR2, PCI-Express, Prescott 478 and eventually Prescott 775. But, since Grantsdale will be the value oriented Prescott chipset, most roadmaps Grantsdale with the lower cost current DDR solution. The first member of the Grantsdale/Alderwood family, dubbed Copper River, is now shipping as a server solution.
Intel also updates its new southbridge on Grantsdale/Alderwood to ICH6 and ICH6R. One significant addition to ICH6R is called Matrix Raid. This feature allows both striping and mirroring (Raid 0+1) using just two drives instead of the 4 drives normally required.

Still no dual CPU enthusiast boards. Could be a good reason for the FX staying around if one of the HT links was re-enabled.sandorski - Saturday, January 10, 2004 - link
Don't worry, it'll become an issue in time. ;)mrprotagonist - Friday, January 9, 2004 - link
Can't believe that the nvidia/AMD/Intel fanboys didn't catch this snippet on page 4:"ATI has confirmed production of an AMD Athlon 64 core logic; NVIDIA is rumored to also have an Intel chipset in the works. With both ATI and NVIDIA producing both AMD and Intel chipsets, we will now have five major chipset manufacturers (six if you include ALi)."

Does the FIC small form factor PC that opens up like a Mac have an AGP slot?Evan Lieb - Friday, January 9, 2004 - link

good post..i hope that i could visit..Most of us know that Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale,but few of us knew that Nanotechnology entails the application of fields of science as diverse as surface science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, microfabrication, etc.http://www.cpr-franchise.com
