No PT880 Pro boards?

[paulsiu]

I notice that the PT880 Pro chipset that allows AGP and PCIe on the same board have gotten quite a bit of press lately, but there seems to be no product that uses it. Will there be a product or is it just a paper launch?

Intel could be telling board makers to NOT use it if they want THEIR chips? Has happened before, would not put it over Intel to do soemthing liek that.

PT880 PRO has been spotted in Japan or Taiwan or Europe. One of those regions that always gets product releases a few weeks to a couple months before the rest of the world. Bastids!

Check back in a couple weeks.

ASRock showed quite a few boards based on the new PT880P/894 but they won't be announced until the chipset is available in mass quantities.
