Dual 7450 systems are following about 4 weeks later (cpu cards will be user upgradable). bplan will have a developer registration program for those boards at their web site at mid of next week. Developer boards will be available at normal retail price (but ~10 weeks in advance to normal production) of about $600 for a G3@450MHz single cpu system.
Do you have more specific information about the board, The fact that they only
speak about the relatively low speed powerpc processors only has me a bit
worried.
Do you knowif it will also work with the new G3 from IBM, or the 7440, which
integrate the cache on die, and have different pin count ?
Will the multiplier settings and other such be enough for the newer processors
?
