Intel Tips Core 2 Duo Launch Plans, Phases Out IDE

jmke · 6th June 2006, 21:31

The Broadwater chipset, which will be paired with Intel's new Core2 Duo processors, eliminates both parallel ATA connections and the IDE interface, which has been traditionally used for both hard drives and optical storage, respectively. An Intel spokeswoman confirmed the change. Sources indicated that motherboard manufacturers could include third-party chips to re-establish the legacy connections. However, Intel will push Serial ATA, a technology initially introduced as an interface for hard drives, as a solution for both storage interfaces, the Intel spokeswoman said.

horray for no backwards compatibility; SATA connectors are flimsy and come loose easily, maximum data transfer rate PATA<>SATA with current drives is the same; just great decision making; that old Plextor 12x writer I have lying around and which works excellent for almost any PC is "too old" for this intel chipset? PCI ATA adaptor ahoy
