Interesting post (and responses) from Aces:

<i.That is consequence of Intel's new PAT latency cuting improvement ! ! !

Do you get the feeling that PAT is not a "memory bypass" or latency reduction by itself, but simply agressive memory timings when the chipset detects that only two dimms are installed?

I feel pretty scammed by 875 already. This is just the last damn straw.

There is not a difference in the chipset at all between 875 and 865. Using the bypass with an 865 is not even an "overclock" as intel was claiming it was. It's all just a scam.

To find out that the EE's max performance memory configuration is 1 gig while FX can pull full speed at 8 gig one hell of a slap in the face.

Intel has made a serious error in judgement with this. It would have never come up if they had set the limit to 2 GB, with a bit less agressive timings. who the hell is using more than 2 GB? Did they expect that with the price of memory dropping all the time that PAT was not going to to be exposed as fraud?

Fraud. $50 extra for nothing but a memory size limitation.

Fraudulent. "Workstation". Chipset.

Class. Action. Suit.

Say it with me.

i820, 875P. in a "class" by themselves.
