DFI updates nForce4 UT nF4 SLI Expert with MCP55
NVIDIA's next core logic release, yet to be announced, seems set to carry on what nForce4 has built, judging by the number of MCP55-based mainboards on display at CeBit.For the enthusiast, DFI have an updated version of their nForce4 SLI Expert board, implementing x16 SLI in a new board that's provisionally codenamed MCP55-D2R. Using the Expert layout and power regulation circuitry, the two PEG16X, two PCIe 1x, 3 PCI Conventional board places the memory modules near the I/O backplane, with the CPU socket over to the right.
Using Socket AM2, the new board should be released sometime around July. We expect it to be formally announced at Computex, this June. Looks like it could be the board for the enthusiast on that socket, with apparent support for DDR2 memory running north of 1GHz.
