Motherboards in 2002: Preview from Comdex

DFI - Radeons for all

Just across from ABIT on the show floor you could find DFI's booth where they showcased the usual in terms of motherboards and their new video card line as well. On the motherboard side, they were displaying their new KT266A solution, the AD70-E. We have received the final version of the board it will be included in our upcoming roundup.

Another board that DFI showed us was their Intel 845 solution with DDR SDRAM support - the NB70. DFI said that they just need to put some finishing touches on the board and we should expect to receive the board in a few weeks.

Interesting enough, DFI is also going to start manufacturing ATI video cards. They already have the Radeon 7000, 7500, and 8500 ready and they should be out in the market soon. When asked why they chose ATI over NVIDIA, the response was because everyone else was making NVIDIA cards and they'd like to be different.
