Re: And with the 820 boards apparently heading west into the sunset Not just the 820, now that VIA and server works have dual processor FCPGA chipsets out (and boards using those chips are shipping), the 840 is out to pasture too. Server Works is now offering their Server Set III chipset series. Its big advantage is that it runs with SDRAM memory instead of RDRAM. However, the ServerWorks solution won't make it into the main stream for quite a while to come, since motherboards equipped with this professional SMP-chipset are hardly affordable for the masses, as motherboard-prices range from US$ 500 and up. This situation left the field wide open once more for the Taiwanese chipset maker VIA. Today VIA's 694X or 'Apollo Pro 133A' is the most widely used platform for systems that are equipped with Intel Pentium III processors running at 133 MHz FSB. VIA's data sheets always claimed that the 694X is capable of dual-processor support and finally dual-Socket370 motherboards with Apollo Pro133A are becoming available. Following VIA's tradition, those platforms are very affordable and could therefore make dual processor systems rather popular. tomshardware.com The 840 is also fading, and RDRAM hopes with it.
