IBM PPC970 CPU on NVidia nForce4 Mobo
« on: November 27, 2004, 10:40:35 PM »
From PPCNUX:
"A Non-Apple company uses this system architecture with PCI-Express for its new dual-G5 mainboard.

While the first product based on the IBM G5 Northbridge and NVIDIA Hypertransport Southbridge (originally meant for AMD64 CPUs) is an AdvancedTCA LINUXblade PPC20A, it could also be used for a most up to date desktop system since it implements all of today's neccessary and cutting edge features in just two chips:"
