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."

    Also is this a review or an advertisment?

    This is a product announcement masquerading as a story or better known as a slash-vertisement.. I'm not implying that Intel is paying for this advertising any more than Apple pays for the articles in their dedicated section, but if it quacks like a duck, then damn it, it's probably a duck.

    Intel's new "Blue Mountain" motherboard comes on a black PCB

    How long until someone makes a white PCB? With all the casemods, etc., I'm sure the modders would love a mobo that would colour itself to whatever lighting they have installed/turned on...
