AMD Ships First DTX Form Factor Prototypes

MojoKid writes "When AMD first revealed their plans for the DTX open industry standard, the intent of that early briefing was to explain AMD's vision for interoperable small form factor systems. Today AMD provided more details and a specific design example of the DTX small form-factor standard. This HotHardware article showcases a prototype system built on a low power AMD Athlon 64 BE-2350 processor and 690G chipset motherboard with integrated graphics. Maybe the HTPC just took a small step toward platform standardization?"

Re:still has legacy components

People who insist on using obsolete peripherals with new computers can always use digital-to-analog converters. These exist for usb->serial, digital video->analog video, etc. Or they can just keep using their obsolete computers with their obsolete periphs.

It's backward-looking thinking like yours that keeps the PC industry from achieving its full potential.
