Epox to use ATI chipsets for AMD’s AM2 Processors
By
Fudo over at The Inq. is reporting that Epox has jumped ship and has started to use ATI chipsets on their upcoming socket AM2 motherboards. This is interesting news if it proves true as Epox used to only use NVIDIA chipsets on their AMD motherboards.
Epox has decided to go for the rather successful RD580 chipset from ATI. It will use it for its new socket AM2 boards. The company was Nvidia chipset supporter only, but I guess its customers wanted to get their hands on ATI-based boards. The board is branded as EP-MD580 XR-J and it is an ATX board. It is powered with RD580 Northbridge and SB600 Southbridge. It supports socket AM2 CPUs. This confirms out story where we said that RD580 can support socket AM2.
