jim: I have never seen Tom's Hardware this anti-Rambus. tomshardware.com From conclusions page john After I pointed out my disapproval of i815's performance in comparison with BX133, I still have to praise it for leaving its Rambus-brothers behind in the majority of benchmarks. It may be that the overclockers amongst us are disappointed about Solano, but all the ones out there, who were afraid of running BX beyond spec, have now found their perfect solution. Solano is faster and cheaper than i820 or i840 and it beats VIA's Apollo Pro133A PC133 chipset too, so it deserves to be called 'Best Coppermine Solution', taking this title away from the Apollo Pro133A. The question now is how expensive i815-platforms will be. After all you have to pay for an integrated graphics solution, regardless if you want to use it or not. Motherboards with VIA's Apollo Pro 133A will remain the most cost effective choice, but i815-platforms will be able to deliver superior performance at a price that is significantly lower than i820 and i840. Should i815 ship in volume it will kill i820 sales completely. i840-sales have never been good in the first place and I wouldn't know why that should change. This leaves a happy smile on my face while I see my hands waving bye-bye to Rambus. Intel's 815 chipset is a good product and it makes me feel very sorry for all owners of i820-systems. Well guys, that's what you get if you believe in marketing hype!
