First Intel Quad Core Ready Desktop Mobo Spotted

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hot-off-the-presses dept.

MojoDog writes "Today Universal Abit launched their AW9D and AW9D-MAX motherboards based on the Intel 975X chipset. There has been much anticipation in the industry for this series and as far as looks go, these boards are built to please. One interesting bullet point in the spec list is that these boards are "Quad Core Ready", in line with a possible year-end release of Intel's Quad-Core Kentsfield CPU perhaps? Time will tell!"

    What is "Universal Abit"? I always thought the company was just called "abit". But my ignorance is boundless.

    I'm still going to wait for the eight-core boards, until then I will cherish my 486.
