ggtyh Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 The graphic riser card scares me... Wouldn't that thing reduce the total bandwidth of the card, or from the card to the chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R600 Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 One thing I'm a bit confused on about the BTX boards is the layout.Are the PCI slots placed at the top now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggtyh Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 The way I understood it, is that the board is reversed from actual ATX cases.When viewed from the front of the case, an ATX board will be on the right hand side, while BTX will be on the left hand side, so the PCI slots will still be at the bottom.In the pictures on www.anandtech.com, the board is laid flat, so the PCI slots are on the right hand side, and the top of the board is on the left hand side (always from a front view).

techguy21801 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 man..it looks like whoever desighned this was smoking Crack...looks like one on the old at boards where they just threw everything in there with no organization. they need to leave it alone and keep things standard. ATX is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R600 Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 cool. i was wondering why we only had pc cases designed the way it is for ATX boards only. now that they've got the reversed design, it'll be quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
