Tony Re <<<<<<Via's unlicensed DDR chipset is much faster than P4 with DRDRAM, is it latency that gets most of the performance improvement? <<<<<<<< I found Anands article here http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1518 A couple of interesting tibits. Third, Intel’s i845-D (Brookdale with DDR SDRAM support) is still on track to be introduced in the first quarter of 2002. In spite of sluggish Pentium 4 sales Intel has not pulled the 845-D in any closer. Even if they did, with only DDR200 (PC1600) SDRAM support the i845-D wouldn’t offer that much of an advantage over the regular i845 with PC133 SDRAM. Intel has yet to qualify DDR266 (PC2100) for use with their platforms. <<<<<<< For the most part, the P4X266 is a viable alternative to the i850. It is only under games that you lose a significant amount of performance and even then only at lower, non-video bottlenecked resolutions. VIA's pricing on the chipset should be comparable to what they are selling the KT266 for, meaning that we should be able to see P4X266 based boards at or above KT266 price levels. <<<<<
