AMD SB 800 Features

what dose E-sata use (sata1)1.5gbs or (sata2)3.0gbs ?

usb 3.0 is suppose to be 4.8gbs vs 480mbs usb from 2.0

how ever if e-SATA is using Sata it can get to 6gbs & I'm sure we'll see more devices use e-sata over the coming years.

P.S. Sata III

Why, did Sata II already come out?
Sata 3Gbps != Sata II. Common misconception.

it's called FW800

It'd be an alternative if it was widely available.
As of now, it only comes on a few external drives and camcorders;
but I haven't seen many pendrives or others with fw; and those
devices that have fw are a very small percentage in the market and
cost a significant amount more.

[EDIT]What is MAC LAN for anyway? Just to connect to a MAC?

No, networking devices have a MAC address and MAC layer.
I'm sure you have seen it, an IP address is 123.456.789.123
for example and can be dynamic; a MAC address is eg.
12:3a:bf:19:5c:67, and is static and can identify a machine.

Well, you can change a MAC address, but it's still a lot more static than an IP address. The wireless network on the university where I study uses the MAC address of my laptop to verify whom I am, along with account and password and stuff. But I will have to register the MAC address of my mobile phone's WiFi to be able to use the wireless network on my university for example, otherwise they won't allow me to connect wirelessly. It's more of a security feature in this case as I can only use certain features when I'm on the university's network and they don't want someone to just hop on to the network and start using it as well. (I use VPN at home to do the same)

eSATA currently uses SATA 3,0 GB/s and maximum cable length through a native eSATA port is 2 m. while a 'passive' port is reduced to 1 m. because it lack the signaling needed to support longer cables. When a mobo has a build in eSATA connector found at the rear port cluster, then it will be of the full eSATA port.

Wow, SB8xx are going to be a kickass SB's. AMD are improving everything they can while fighting on every front. That SB should add a great value to the upcoming Deneb based platforms. Deneb loks like it is going to be more competitive to Yorkfield then Phenom was to Kentsfield. It seems they have fixed the Spider. In such case the Spider2 with an Radeon 48xx will offer a great performance and will have a very high overall value for the price it has. Bravo AMD!

Thx for the explanation

No, were you... positive

Anyhow, if it's going to compete against Yorkfield majorly depends how Deneb is going to do in the end; most important thing I think is to improve Vcore/clock scaling. But as long as they rule out most things which might be a drawback it's only better. Got to start somewhere at some point and fix/improve things step by step and everytime you did one piece you've one thing less to worry about... at least, that's how I think when i got to tidy my room

But Im dieing to see RD890 features though. I hope metro posts them tomorrow... (which is only in one hour).
