Via and HP team up on PCs for Chinese Enterprise

LITTLE TAIWANESE Chippie, Via, has said it will be teaming up with industry giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) to flog enterprise computers to the Chinese market.

Via says it will be bunging its C7-D CPUs and CN896 chipsets into HP's Compaq dx2040, before shipping them off to do business behind the bamboo curtain.

The machine will also purportedly sport 4GB of DDR2 memory, have a Via Chrome 9 GPU, support DirectX 9.0 and Chromotion 3.0 CE technology for hardware acceleration. µ
