The Birth of a Motherboard

[System]

PegasosPPC.com has 6 new pictures from the production phase of the Pegasos II motherboard.  Looks very cool.  You can view them here.

What is so very hard to understand?

1) I did not see Kees post, or I would not have posted it.

2) We moved those images to PegasosPPC.com SPECIFICALLY to keep DCE's servers from being overloaded for bandwidth.  There is no reason for them to pay for the image download bandwidth when that's what PegasosPPC.com's servers exist for.

3) It is not a forum post.  Pictures of the new motherboard in production are news.  Simple as that.

This is not rocket science.

@Ogy,

Considering that sound, networking, firewire and everything else is built onto the motherboard, what more do you need?  Video goes in the AGP slot.

I don't believe I've actually built a single computer in the last 5 years that needed more than one PCI slot and that was usually for a network card.  (I have almost forgotten what a floppy drive looks like).  I have zero PCI cards in my Pegasos and use it quite regularly.

Keep in mind that this is a Micro ATX motherboard and they normally NEVER come with more than three PCI slots (if they even have more than two).

@seer,

Nope. Nothing.  Doesn't ring a bell.

@Amigamad,

The network card is on board, so

1 tv card
1 sound card
= 2 PCI slots

The Pegasos II has 3 PCI slots, so you have one left over for something else.  What's the big deal?
