Think of a chipset for an AMD Athlon 64. You probably thought nForce, or maybe of something VIA, and just perhaps, ATi. I bet you didn't think of ULi though, did you?
Anandtech recently took a look at ULi's new M1695 chipset, which has a few nifty features up its sleeve. The most notable capability of this chipset is the AGP and PCIe support. This time we're dealing with real AGP, not something based on a couple of PCI ports tied together. Better still, you can simultaneously run a PCI, AGP and PCIe graphics card - nifty!Performance is fair too, so this chipset could mean big things for ULi. Check out Anandtech's review.ULi did a great job with their new PCIe/AGP chipset. If you are in the market for a new Socket 939 board, then boards based on the ULi M1695/M1567 should definitely be on your shopping list. If you by chance plan to use AGP on your new PCIe board, then ULi M1695/M1567 is the only board that you should have on your shopping list. This AGP on PCIe really works, there are no compromises, and you will not be disappointed.
