Tom of course is still sticking to his expectation that 815 Solano at its release should be able to be on-par with an overclocked 440BX. He doesn't realize that the overclocked 440BX is not indicative of real-world PC133 SDRAM performance. Why shouldn't a new chipset at 133mhz get the same performance as an old overclocked chipset? Yes the overclocked motherboard will also overclock the AGP slot, but do you think that all the extra performance from the BX133 comes from overclocking AGP? The BX has been around for awile now shouldn't Intel have been able to develop something faster at the same mhz by now? Tim

Tenchusatsu, Tom of course is still sticking to his expectation that 815 Solano at its release should be able to be on-par with an overclocked 440BX. He doesn't realize that the overclocked 440BX is not indicative of real-world PC133 SDRAM performance. Even if the final version of 815 solano arrives somewhere between the overclocked BX and Via 133A and it is not fully on par with BX-133, it will be fast enough to beat 820 + RDRAM (all version including the most expensive PC-800) Joe
