The 7505 is very similar to the 7501 with 533 MHz system bus and also
features 8x AGP.... a missing feature from recent Xeon chipsets.
And according to the Digitimes
http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/Article.asp?datePublish=2003/02/20&pages=PR&seq=206
the 800MHz system bus with DDR400 chips (i865, i875) are due out next
quarter.
We should work on having LinuxBIOS ready and publicly posted for
chipsets the moment they are released. This would be a nice step towards
having LinuxBIOS ready months before release as legacy BIOS vendors have
always done.
