If someone has a link dan, this from another thread. unclewest Here is a picture of a new RMBS 820 mobo. A great mobo and one of many yet to come. sharkyextreme.com ml "It's been over a month now since the delay of the i820 launch date (originally September 27th) and, although the chipset still hasn't arrived on the market, it is much closer to doing so according to Sharky Extreme's sources at Intel. We've been told that the first part of November will likely see the i820 "re-launch" occur" "we're going to bring you reviews of the third party i820 mainboards that will arrive in the market place the very day Intel allows the new chipset to launch in November. Here is the complete hardware review: sharkyextreme.com And here are the even important final thoughts: sharkyextreme.com ml "With the Gigabyte GA-6CX, the floodgates of i820 mainboard production are starting to break open and it won't be long before Sharky Extreme is doing 10-way i820 mainboard roundups and shootouts. As early as the GA-6CX is, it's still impressively mature in terms of feature support and flexibility. Clearly the lessons mainboard vendors have learned from their campaigns in the 440BX wars the past two years have helped refine and optimize their first i820 designs to what the buyer wants most. We won't hesitate in recommending the GA-6CX to buyers when it arrives shortly after the "re-launch" of the i820 chipset in the first part of November."

Dan, Compare coppermine/820/rambus to coppermine/BX/PC100 to evaluate multitasking performance of rambus. If someone has a link to the full test, I'd be interested in seeing it. I believe that much of the concurrency advantage is built into the 820, so the benefit should still be there. The article tested the PIII-600/820/rambus against the PIII-600/BX/PC100 and the RDRAM systems completed the multitasking tests in 37% less time. Coppermine advances may reduce this a little, but I doubt it'll wipe them out. BWDIK, Dave p.s. I haven't looked for it, but the article may be on-line at www.pcworld.com.
