I'm so excited! I'll have a review up for this next week or so. The clock is at 250/250 but I'll try to upload the retail BIOS and run more numbers on that. I'll compare it to the cards that I currently have.
More MPX board coming out

Posted on December 20, 2001 at 5:25:00 PM
TheInquirer is reporting that more MPX based boards are coming out. Even Iwill is jumping on the MPX bandwagon. The DAD266(wtf?) is what their board will be called. Maybe because it is the daddy of the motherboards?

FIC AquaPad Review
Poster: Aron Schatz
Posted on December 19, 2001 at 4:17:00 PM
What is an AquaPad? It is a portable webbrowser (weren't those planned a few years ago?) that uses 802.11b. I want one for college. I think these are the perfect toy for a geek that has everything already. The price leaves something to be desired in my opinion. Here is the review at AMDZone.
MPX Chipset review
Poster: Aron Schatz
Posted on December 19, 2001 at 4:12:00 PM
Anandtech has posted their review of the MPX chipset for dual Athlon Bliss. They also said they noticed no USB problems.
Although we've seen reports contrary to this, we noticed no USB 1.1 compatibility problems with the reference Paulaner board. Using the only two ports available on the board we captured video from an Intel USB web camera while constantly using a Microsoft USB Intellimouse without any compatibility issues. While this is clearly not exhaustive testing, we thought it was worth mentioning.

USB doesn't work on the MPX

Posted on December 17, 2001 at 3:54:00 PM
TheInquirer reports that USB on the MPX isn't working. Vendors are shipping USB cards to compliment the boards. I'm sure this will be address soon though.

Cnet has a review of the XP 1800+. And they use a 761 board for the article which is just plain slow compared to the KT266a chipset.

GamePC has a shoot out between the XP 1.6 and the Xeon 1.7. Since the XP and the MP are nearly identical, They used the XP instead of the MP (And it is cheaper too).
