Intel Broadwater 96x Chipset without CrossFire support

malware · Jun 3, 2006

According to a confirmation from Foxconn engineers, the upcoming Intel Broadwater 96x family chipsets will not support ATIs CrossFire dual video card technology. Currently Intel 945, 955, and 975 chipsets support CrossFire but these who want to jump to a DDR2-800 MHz supporting chipset will have to wait ATI RD600 and enjoy dual graphics. Intel is expected to announce the Broadwater family of chipsets on June 7, 2006 at Computex Taipei.

This has to be THE WORST WRITTEN summary from techpowerup. Whoever wrote this should have taken another semester in English.

Who the F are you? MR. PERFECT ENGLISH? Dude, get a grip man, we all make mistakes. Be thankful there is people bringing these news to us. If you think you can write better, make your own forum, dig.

where is the error?

hotrippr · Jun 3, 2006

What you say still doesn't change the fact that there are more than one or two errors. The summary doesn't make sense. And I don't need to have my own forum, there are plenty of others with news also. However if I did have my own, I would at least have someone proofread it before I posted it for all to read...or try. I am relaxed, people who write these do not take words to heart, nor do they care as much as you. Maybe you should relax, this is the net what do you expect. :laugh:

The original artical states that Crossfire will not INITIALLY support crossfire.
"these" meant "those"?
"will have to wait FOR ATI..."
"and enjoy dual..." should be changed "to enjoy dual..."

All this is off topic :laugh:

This is an international forum, if you can't deal with occasional spelling/grammar mistakes you need to go somewhere else. Malware is from Bulgaria, a non-English speaking nation. Considering that fact, I find his English to be quite good. How well can you speak his language? I seriously doubt you can speak Bulgarian as well as he speaks English.

that is just a word

warup89 · Jun 3, 2006

alright ppl stop getting off-topic; so yeah INTEl sucks ass.

hotrippr · Jun 3, 2006

Really do we all have this much free time? Yes it was just a word. lol.

hotrippr · Jun 3, 2006

This was so well written, look how many actually commented on the info.

warup89 · Jun 3, 2006

no you started the off-topic bullsh*t, and ppl are are pissed cause of that

hotrippr · Jun 3, 2006

Wow, you sure showed me. I'm so impressed you can search for language translators online. As you are slowly learning insulting members of this forum is not well tolerated. If you wanted the thread to stay on topic you should have known better. If you want it to get back on topic I suggest you stop posting in it, since you clearly have nothing significant to add.

I wonder why intel would stop supporting crossfire in their chipsets. Maybe it's move by ATI to increase sales of their own chipsets?

warup89 · Jun 3, 2006

lol ...........u watch too much disney channel.

Azn Tr14dZ · Jun 3, 2006

Why do you get so pissed. You can still understand it right?

He's from Bulgaria, and he's bilingual (did I spell that right?). Can you speak any other language besides english, no, I don't think so. So just stop making fun of other people!!!

That is wierd how they stopped supporting CrossFire, maybe they have another upcoming secret...

pt · Jun 3, 2006

i commented because you said it hotrippr
I got a old celeron that works pretty well, the pentium are too expensive for the performance they give and too hot
just a tought but they could have stopped supporting CrossFire because AMD intentions of buying ATI. Imagine if AMD boards only support crossfire, and Intel only support SLI

hotrippr · Jun 3, 2006

I am sorry I did not understand it, I had to read the original article. And it is fun pissing people off. Sorry LOL! If I get banned I understand, LOL. Really don't care. What's a translator? LOL, u got me! Seriously if I had the Disney channel I would watch more of it.

Intel is already upsetting so many people with the Conroe VRM fiasco. No crossfire? Why would they do this? Yes, it has to be ATI wanting it all for their own chipsets. So according to the article if you want i96x with crossfire, you will have to wait for ATI?

Azn Tr14dZ · Jun 3, 2006

The 975X chipsets support Conroe and Crossfire, but they don't have the SB600.

Unless you have something important or useful to post, refrain from posting this crap or we'll put a stop to it ourselves.

He's foreign, and messed up a word or two. Live it with it.
