Is PCI Express only on Intel mother boards?
Is there any difference between AMD and Intel motherboard besides the sockets?

Rob · 11-December-04, 06:33 PM

The AMD boards (the good ones, anyway) all use the Nvidia chipset while the Intel boards use mostly the Intel chipset. There are other chipsets out there that are used on both boards such as Via and SiS but are not quite as popular.

The PCI-E, as far as I know, are only available for the Intel boards but I could be majorly wrong. It isn't something that I've looked into yet but there are other video Pimps out there that can tell you for sure or not...just give them some time and they'll find this thread. In the mean time, here's a great article to read up on PCI-E.

Hope this helps.

Yea, from what ive researched, ive only seen PCI-E on Intel boards, so i was just wondering if AMD boards only go up to 8x AGP, and intel goes to.. 16x with the PCI -E, and now with the SLI supposely 4x greater than 8x.

PCI-E is available with AMD through the nForce 4 chipset. The prelim boards are out there right now and some people seem to be buying them through 'connections'

Expect them in bulk sometime soon, ZZF has them listed as out of stock

On motherboard that have reached the market, PCI-E is mostly only on Intel boards. However, there are plenty of test and demo boards for AMD cpus that were shown earlier this year that have PCI-E. It's mostly just a matter of time before you really see the PCI-E boards for AMD cpus around in quantity.
