Subject: Re[2]: Intel Triton Chipset?
Sender: [e-mail]
Precedence: bulk


Micron bought Zeos, and esentially either board works fine.

I have personal experience with ASAS and Intel. ASUS P55 and P54 run
great with Triton at 100 and 120, and intel (zapper/aladin) works
fine at 100,120,and133. I have the 133 here at work.

I am currently testing a new config for a client and this
has the ASAU P55 with the pipeline, 512k cache, and an intel 133

   I have been dealing with this problem for the past 3 weeks. It sound's
like people running the P-100  on the Triton chip mother board have had good
luck. I have been trying to get a P-120 to work with no such luck. After
trying 3 different motherboards with the same result (disabling CPU cach to
get lightwave to render) I decided to end my agony and am in the process of
buying a ZEOS P-120 or 133. They are the only other manufacture that I am
aware of, that have an advanced motherboard that supports pipeline cach and
EDO ram. They have there own chipset using VLSI chips,
and best yet, they garentee 100% NT compatibality. The board is called the
BOA Wildcat for anybody who may be interseted. Two other LightWave animaters
in my area have been using the Zeos P-120 (I am not shure what mother board)
running NT for several months now and have had no problems. Heck, they even
have Windows 95 running half way decent.

I dont know the answer to that question. I'll let you know if my luck is any
better with the Zeos.  They are a local company, and willing to work with me
on any problems, so I should know more, later  this week.
