Re: Gigabyte All Solid-State Capacitor Motherboard
To me also, "solid state" means transistors instead of vacuum tubes.

Re: Gigabyte All Solid-State Capacitor Motherboard
Again it's just semantics.
I saw a cool display In the IBM main facility (building 300) reception room.
It was a long wall depicting the evolution of their logic circuitry.
Started with a messy looking single tube single bit module, and progressed up
window by window in about 2 to 4 year leaps to present day. (which was 1986,year of the project I was on)
The last window was apropriately a question mark.

My thought exactly! Now, when'll there be an AM2 version?
AM2 is like socket 423-->478... I tell everyone to wait for AM3...
There is no reason why mainstream boards, (just cheap ass ones) should not have newer components, VRM's etc....

Actually, I've seen some S754 mini-itx boards coming out so it may stick around for a while now.

So the only advantage here is longivity, right? AFAIK, these solids and hybrid electrolytics have a higher ESR when compared to the traditional 'lytics, or is this wrong?
