Motherboard Preview From Comdex

adpowers writes "Anandtech has a large preview of upcoming motherboards shown at Comdex." P4s dominating Athlons, lots of DDR SDRAM boards. A quite lengthy article. The FIC pages have several interesting looking PCs, I dig the AquaPad, a WinCE Transmeta box.

Re:Motherboards with Good Looks

Awhile back AOpen came out with a motherboard that was black and the chipset heatsink was gold-plated. Very sharp.

While many of the motherboards out there are sticking with classic green, there are some that are still using black. AOpen has a line of motherboards that are black with silver, and my favorite Soyotek has a cool black board with purple PCI controllers and yellow RAID connectors. The Dragon can be found here.

Check out the colored boards by MSI

Microstar makes some motherboards using cool colors...

Check out this board for single Athlons or this board for single P4's.

The font page has some more examples as well.

AquaPad

Unfortunately the Windows CE v3.0 that's running on the AquaPad severely limits its functionality; the platform is in dire need of an upgrade to PocketPC 2002...

Hehe

I'd prefer Linux, and it's only a matter of time...

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they want for them. I'm definately interested in a tablet PC. Having never learned to type I can't say I'd miss the keyboard much.

Re:What I checked in that article...

Well. Perhaps some of their SMP boards are like that. I think that they might feel that way about this particular system. Are you discussing the one with four DIMM slots and mobo RAID? I can't find your parent.

They sure knew what their market was for their dual celery boards. My BP6 sure has integrated USB.
