Nun hat auch [url=http://www.tyan.com]Tyan[/url] seine Intel 915 und 925X Platinen vorgestellt. Das Tyan Tomcat i915 (S5120) verfügt über die 915G üblichen Features wie PCI-Express x16 und x1, DDR2, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial-ATA, USB 2.0 und Firewire. Wenn keine Grafikkarten im PCI-Express x16 Slot steckt, übernimmt der Intel GMA 900 Grafik-Kern die Bildausgabe. Das Tyan Tomcat i925X (S5130) basiert auf dem Intel 925X Chipsatz und bietet daher darüber hinaus noch einige Zusätzliche Features. Dazu zählen zwei Gigabit Ports und eine integrierte ATI RAGE XL mit 8 MB Grafikspeicher. Beide Boards sollen noch im Juni als Samples ausgeliefert werden. Mit der Massenproduktion will man aber erst im 3. Quartal beginnen. Informationen über die Preise gibt es noch nicht.

Both of these platforms will offer incredibly rich features for entertainment and business applications, while providing capabilities that can fit any number of business or home computing requirements.
Tyan's Tomcat i915 (S5120), based on Intel's 915G Express chipset, enables customers to enjoy innovative video technology for gaming and other forms of interactive entertainment through the implementation of the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 graphics core which supports DirectX* 9 and OpenGL*, and features compatibility with a wide range of Windows platforms. Upgradeability is built right into the Tomcat i915 through a PCI Express* x16 slot for support of the latest in video card technology. The Tomcat i915 also has support for the Intel Pentium® 4 Socket-T (LGA775) package, which enables customers with high-performance, cutting-edge processing power. Other convenient features include integrated high-definition multi-channel audio with optical SDPIF connectors, a 10/100 Ethernet port and additional option for Gigabit port, (4) 32-bit PCI slots and (2) PCI Express x1 slots, multi-port Serial ATA with optional RAID, and built-in 1394a FireWire support.
The Tomcat i925X (S5130) is based on Intel's 925X Express chipset, which uses a high-bandwidth PCI Express architecture to support performance processing and graphics for the desktop or server space. Capabilities of the Tomcat i925X also include Intel Pentium 4 Socket-T (LGA775) processor support, support for up to 4GB of DDR2-533/400 unbuffered memory, multiple I/O options including a PCI Express x16 slot plus (4) 32-bit PCI slots and (2) PCI Express x1 slots, built-in high-definition multi-channel audio with optical SPDIF ports, one or two Gigabit Ethernet ports, integrated ATI® RAGE XL™ 8MB video, 1394a FireWire, and multi-port Serial ATA with storage RAID (based on Intel Matrix Storage Technology).
"Today's home and office users are looking towards solutions that can meet their increasing performance and connectivity needs," stated Don Clegg, Vice President of Sales and Strategic Programs at Tyan. "The introduction of Tyan's Tomcat i915 and Tomcat i925X both herald a widespread change in desktop platform technology which will enable customers to experience new levels of entertainment and productivity."
