AthlonXP.com with Parhelia - Ponderance

See news on main page. If it is supposed to be triplehead, why does it only have two connectors? Could this be a lower end board or fake?

[Rags]

No, as mentioned in several other threads, it comes with a y cable with two VGA outputs and one DVI to VGA adapter.

Yup.

You get TripleHead by the use of the famous dongle.
Parhelia has 2 DVI connectors.
One of those can be connected to a CRT by the use of a DVI-VGA adapter, just like G550.
The other can be connected to a dvi to dual-vga break-out cable.

Ahh the famous dongle and eating of cheetos.

[CHHAS]

That's the orange dongle right ?

[Kruzin]

Your's may be orange, but mine's black (even though I'm white )

Can't really tell from the picture what size those RAM chips are, but that looks to be a 128 meg version also. The previously released pictures were 256 megs with RAM on both sides, and this board looks pretty much identical.

[cadwal]

Hm, that can't be a board intended for release. That green wire says "ALPHA" in a loud voice to me.

And there is still an empty space for a largish IC on top with a connector possibility to the left of that space. Prepared for VIVO or something?

[cadwal]

Of course it could be that this specific board was damaged in manufacturing and the green wire is a repair. No massproduction yet though if they have to do that.

Oh, and this thread is duplicated, moderators please merge

[Kruzin]

Thanks, but I can decide how to moderate for myself. I don't need an 8 post mini telling me how to do it.

While both threads do make reference to the same article, they both have different basic topics of discussion.

[cadwal]

Yes, of course you do, decide for yourself that is, thats why there was a added. No obligation intended.
(The response to my comment was already in the other thread so I should have still been a 6 post mini, thats why I added the please merge note)

[xBee]

220Mhz???

[R.Carter]

Yep that first picture seems to show a number of fly wires.

Anyonw know why they are there? Too bad no close up shot of that part.... maybe they were short of parts and had to substiture or something.

Hopefully it is one of the pre-production test run boards and not representative of the final production boards.

[DukeP]

Looks like they are running from the clockgenerator chip...
Grap that screenshot - it might be usefull later..

[Drizzt]

The same for me, it really seems a clock generator...
