Broadwater Almost Invisible
With Intel so active in promoting Conroe at IDF, we really thougth everyone would have a Broadwater, or Intel 965, motherboard for display at Cebit. In fact there were very few Broadwater boards being shown by any vendors. This is very surprising for a chipset due to launch this quarter.Abit was the only vendor with an Intel 965 that was photo-ready during our pre-Cebit visit to Taiwan.
The Abit AW8D-Max revives the Abit MAX name for a top-of-the-line enthusiast board. This should definitely fit a board designed to house the upcoming Conroe processor.

I think the cooling solution on the Aopen board is pretty good, silence and passive cooling is the way forward IMO. I think these days motherboard manufacturers focus a lot more on their cooling designs, which is a good thing because loud chipset fans suck hard.vailr - Thursday, March 9, 2006 - link
Re: "no where to be found"According to the Microsoft Encarta Dictionary (print edition), "nowhere" is a single word. "no where" is incorrect usage.

Sometimes our posting engine has a mind of its own. The article was posting while it was being entered in the engine - even though Post Status was NO.Everything should be up and working now.
We talk in general terms about the 7900GTX/GT launch in this article, and we also cover the AOpen 975X DualCore board and Broadwater. You should see the full 7900GTX launch article just posted for a complete review of the nVidia 7900GTX.
