Intel's New Pentium 4 Chipsets Reviewed

Posted by Hemos on from the revealing-reviewing dept.

RainDog writes "Intel has released its 845PE and GE chipsets for the Pentium 4 processor, and reviews are hitting the web. The new chipsets officially support DDR333, but are stuck with AGP 4X and ATA/100 support. What's most interesting about these new chipsets is that they're faster than VIA and SiS' latest Pentium 4 offerings, both of which support faster AGP 8X and ATA/133 graphics and disk interfaces. As if that weren't enough, Intel's new "Blue Mountain" motherboard comes on a black PCB with all sorts of multimedia ports and memory timing options. Not bad for the traditionally conservative Intel."

    The reviewer loses all credibility with comments like

    (OK, I admit it: I made up the part about the Firewire ports. But you get the idea.)

    all the way in the next paragraph after including Firewire was a feature.

    Also is this a review or an advertisment?
