D315 with Nforce and AMD XP Processor

Byte: 3D State of the Art, Part 1: Hardware

The Asus motherboard I bought last week was a Nforce, the D315 is Compaq's first business machine running an AMD Processor.

David Em comments on the new Compaq:

The D315 I worked with is powered by AMD's 1.8-GHz 2200 Athlon XP processor. The D315's motherboard incorporates NVIDIA's nForce 220 chipset, which supports up to a GB of DDR PC2100 DRAM memory. The motherboard has surprisingly robust internal sound, supporting 5.1 surround systems and real-time modeling of Dolby Digital environments. It also has built-in NVIDIA GeForce 2 graphics. This box should handle just about anything a business user or consumer could possibly throw at it. But it can also do a lot more.
