And one more interesting report from the same Chinese site. The guys shares some information about the upcoming mainboard solution from Leadtek, which is famous mostly for graphics cards and now also mainboards and memory modules. The company is said to be ready to ship its i845G (i845 B-Step with a new graphics core) based mainboard aka WinFast P4I845G.
The mainboard is designed in ATX form-factor, supports Socket478 processors, 400MHz/533MHz QP bus. It is equipped with 2 DIMM slots for the maximum of 2GB PC2100/PC1600 DDR SDRAM, 5 PCI and 1 AGP 4x slot. It also boasts a new "GeForce2 MX-like" graphics core (though its performance appears to be considerably slower than that of GeForce2 MX as we told here), ATA/100 and USB 2.0 support (ICH4), integrated 6-channel sound chip from C-media and 10.100 Ethernet controller. It supports O.T.S. technology (against CPU overheating, though I don’t see what sense it makes as the corresponding protection is already integrated into the Pentium 4 CPUs)., D.V.A. (voiced alert during POST), X-BIOS II (overclocking).
