Intel's New Pentium 4 Chipsets Reviewed

Posted by Hemos on Monday October 7, 2002 @12:41AM 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."

Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · 2002-10-07 00:48 · Score: -1, Troll

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

This is the brave, new, post Apple Imac world remember. The spec and price isn't as important as the colour.
