Announcement concerning the Genesi/Phoenix collaboration

[MarkTime]

just read above, so editing my post...

of course the card doesn't care, but what I don't understand why it is cheaper or more effective to build this bridge solution than to just build a northbridge that does what you want.

frankly this does go into the realm of internal developer decisions, that I don't really care about.
But I did find it interesting that Genesi can announce, DDR support, they can announce the CPU support,
they can even tell us the brand name on the northbridge, but they cannot tell us if it will support AGP or not.

So far anyway, the only thing I got on ANN was a supporter saying that was an internal engineering question that Amigans wouldn't care about....excuse me, don't care about the accelerated graphics port?  They can name every chip in their machine.....

sigh

Thanks, well that 'splains it.
Quite frankly I was worried that a pci solution would be the end result.

pci solutions do exist...both in server rooms, and in the low end consumer market.  Many an inexpesnive machine at least lacks a agp port (even if some have integrated agp).

It will be good news indeed if the peg2 finishes soon.
I have confidence they will have an OS to run on it, so they have one of the major issues solved already.
