Am I reading this wrong, they talk about the new Pisces chipset, then mention the 880G boards will have HD3450's built in. But then below it seems they show the high-end chipset and shows the HD4000 cards built in. But then they make no mention of that higher-end board.

Whoah whoah whoah...did I just see AM3 specs indicating that RS800 is going DDR3 ONLY? That is not fair, now I'm definitely praying that DDR3 prices will hit rock bottom. What's going on with conspiracy of DDR2 compatibility? Of course it fits the name of AM3 but I was expecting on getting a motherboard with both DDR2 and DDR3 slots.

yes rs880 would be DDR3 only makes no sense not to be that way.

I don't get what they are doing with the board, unless they plan on switching cores hybrid crossfire would be a joke. if anything you'd see a small gain and it would only work with certain cards, and by the the 5 series would have been released.

I don;t even get why they could've just added hybrid crossfire to the rest of the HD 4000 and 3000 series. Pure marketing.

doesn't work that way unfortunately unless they took some 3 series cards and redubbed them 4 series. or else it doesn't work....

r600 = 2000 and 3000
r700 = 4 series only
r800 = 5 series

and rs880 seems to be a rehash of the rv 620 or they just.

I was wondering the same thing. Why not put HD 4350 graphics or something on the new chipset?

Im assuming the Athlon X4 isnt Duron, because that was AMDs celeron chips really. Im thinking its the entry level quad chips low in price, power and for mainstream users.

Cost, more than likely. That and I think they're doing very well revising the RV6xx core... It's incredibly efficient and even in its current iterations can achieve some pretty ridiculous clock speeds for an integrated chipset, given proper cooling of course.

And yeah, kinda. They're stripped down, but not as badly as Duron/Celeron. In fact, the lack of an L3 cache may attract me to them because it should bring down price while increasing potential clock speed...

Kuma seems to be a good Iteration of X2 CPUs.
