7/27 Platform Conference Reports... Platform
Conference "Beta report": HyperTransport
error correction... Everyone and their brother was displaying nForce... VIA
Hardware's Report... AMD
Hammer (K8) processors will integrate their own memory controller, and use
HyperTransport to communicate with an AGP8X and/or PCI-X tunnel, as well as
a Southbridge. This allows each processor in a SMP system to have its own,
dedicated bus to memory, as well as a high-speed bus to AGP and PCI peripherals.

got the audio processor to work in anything but AC97 software mode--truly impressive...
