First look
In the past, we have seen many kinds
of hybrid solutions and they are very popular among end users who wish to
upgrade their board. We have seen such boards like Slot 1/Socket 370 and DDR/SDR
combos. ASrock takes it one step further and stunned the world with the
introduction of the third combo board. - K8 Combo Z.
K8 Combo Z
supports both Socket 754 (single channel) and Socket 939 (dual channel) for
future upgrades. The major difference is the chipset used. K8 Combo Z uses the
ULi M1689 single chipset. This single chipset supports AGP 8X, Serial ATA,
Integrated LAN for Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Sempron CPUs.
K8 Combo Z comes with Serial ATA RAID, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, 1xAGP, 3xPCI, 3x
DIMM slots. It does not have PCI-E slots.
As ULi M1689 is a single chip and interfaces to HTT directly without the need of
a North South architecture and HTT can be set to 5x. It would be a serious
contender to the current Socket 754 and 939 chipsets.
