OCWorkbench haben ein Referenzmainboard mit M1695 von ULi gegen ein EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra (nForce4 Ultra) getestet. Dieser Chipsatz sollte ab Mai in die Massenfertigung gehen (wir berichteten) und wurde vor kurzem vom Hersteller vollmundig als "World 1st Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-core Ready Chipset" angekündigt.
"Features wise, the ULi M1695 paired with ULi M1567 looks more like a "Dual North Bridge" solution supporting the Athlon 64 X2, FX processors as the 1567 handles the AGP. Since it has two "north bridges", it is possible to actually run both PCI-E card and AGP card at the same time. In fact at the launch event in Taipei, ULi demonstrated by hooking the system with 6 monitors using a PCI-E, AGP and PCI based graphics card all on the same mainboard. They call this technology TGi (Triple Graphics Interface). Although the board has some neat features, the south bridge M1567 does not support SATA II nor HD Audio. I was told that there will be a new single chipset that will support these new features."
