Integrated Intel Chipset Lineup

Mr.Tweak writes: "TweakTown have posted an 11-page article concerning "value" Integrated Intel chipsets, included chipsets in the lineup is the SiS 630E, VIA PM133 and the Intel 815E. The article includes information about how integration works, with lots of benchmarks testing FPU, ALU, Memory bandwidth, D3D, OpenGL and so on. They used the following motherboards for testing each chipset Jetway 630CF (SiS 630E), VIA VT5278F PM133 Reference Board (VIA PM133) and EPOX 3S25A (Intel 815E)."

Not using an integrated chipset. :)

Throw away systems

[Alien54]

whenever I put a system together for someone I avoid the integrated chipset motherboards unless I know it is going to be an appliance, a throw-away system. And I tell the person getting the machine that as well. The last thing I need is to be married to a machine

typically, you see this in people who want to get high power performance out of something designed to be an office workstation.

I saw this recently where someone (a lawyer) who had a stroke managed to get a half decent system donated so that he could continue working. Had to have speech recognition.

but now all the family wants is all the games, which is not what it was donated for in the first place. and which it is not really set up for, not the fancy stuff. It doesn't have the high end performance.

That is the problem you see. Someone gets the 500 dollar system, and then goes and buys the game that runs best on a system with 128meg video ram, etc etc etc
