760MPX = no USB? -- the inquirer

[/b]
hey guys, i've been doing some homework on the upcoming 760MPX. i would like to make a thread real info about this puppy and its motherboards. please post extra stuff you guys have come across. here is what i have so far:
AMD 760MPX chipset
hot off the wire!: 760mpx due out next week
AMD website
xlabs news
from http://www.brownhornetmachines.com/News.htm:
Also, they?ll be based on a new AMD 760MPX chipset which supports 64bit/66MHz PCI bus. AMD 760MPX will feature a slightly different architecture. The chipset?s Bridges will be connected via 64bit/33MHz PCI bus with 266MB/sec bandwidth, that is twice as high as the bandwidth of a standard PCI used to connect the Bridges on AMD 760 and AMD 760MP.

Prediction for release of non-Tyan mobos
Article was dated October 4:
<< There is a whole spate of AMD MP-tested mobos arriving over the next 60 days and here is some solid information on the items bobbing up and down in the spume. In the next 30 days (mid-november) we will see the Asus A7M DLS Rev 1.01, Gigabyte's 7DPXDW Rev 0.1, MSI MS6501 Rev 0C, and Abit's WA-2A Rev 1. In the 30 days after that we will spot Chaintech's 7KDP, Epox' M762A, Iwill's DA266RN, Soyo's DK7VA and Tyan's 2468 K7X Thunder (mid december). >>

EPoX
called the M762A
from amdzone:
Epox has posted on their website the announcement of the first non Tyan Dual board. Here is the info from their site: M762A, one of the two Multi Processors (MP) AMD solutions created by EPoX. M762A is tentatively schedule to be launched in middle of November 2001. The ATX form factor is made with 6-layer PCB. This server board house?s the AMD 760 MPX + 768 chipset, 4 DIMM slots, up to 4 Gigs of DDR memory, a AGP 4X slot, 2 - 64 bit (66 MHz), 2 - 32bit (33MHz) PCI Slots, ATA 100, 4 USB (2 Optional), single (Intel 82559) LAN, the usual Phoenix BIOS, over clocking abilities and of course every motherboard you buy comes with our award-winning technical support who is here to help you in times of need. I don't have any info on the other board, but I would guess that will come out shortly.
quote from epox rep:
<< M762A will be released around Mid Dec. >>
Gigabyte
called the GA-7DPXDW
appears to have IDE RAID controller (from Promise which supports RAID 0, 1 and 0+1), 4 DDR slots, AGP pro50 slot, 2 64-bit PCI slots, 3 regular PCI slots, dipswitch overclocking, integrated Intel 825599 Ethernet controller
price: 30,000Y, or $250.

MSI
called the K7D Master-LR
appears to be twin of the gigabyte board (in terms of features)
has integrated intel LAN chip and IDE RAID (looks like a promise chip in the picture)

2 64-bit PCI slots and AGP Pro slot
Looks like no integrated IDE RAID but there is integrated sound
quote from email with abit rep:
<< That board should be released next month. But it is a server board not an ATX board. It will need a non ATX power connector but not proprietary, just server grade, They are usually about 2 or 300 hundred dollars, so it greatly increases the cost of the board. >>
ASUS
called the A7M266-D
xbit labs piece about this board
<< Thirdly, ASUS provided its mainboard with the special ASUS C.O.P. (CPU Overheating Protection) technology, which allows controlling the die temperature for both CPUs taken by the thermal diodes integrated into Athlon MP processors. In case the temperature of one of the processors exceeds the allowed maximum, ASUS C.O.P. shuts down the system automatically thus preventing the CPU from getting burnt.
The forth advantage of this mainboard is the functions for extreme CPU overclocking. ASUS A7M266-D allows changing the CPU clock frequency multiplier, the FSB frequency with 1MHz increments and Vio and Vcore.
