RE:"Jimbo, at 133MHz the BX is running outside of spec, the memory interface is running out of spec, the AGP port is running out of spec and the PCI bus is running out of spec." Well, you've got a point there...I suppose overclocking the AGP would help on a few benchmarks...<G> So is the Solano really a 133 Mhz BX running the rest of the stuff in spec? Or where did the solano core originate? i810, BX, i820? At any rate, it's well needed chipset....plugging a deep hole in Intels line...should be an immediate success. Helps get Intel back on track as the premier chipset maker in the world. Jim

Elmer, at 133MHz the BX is running outside of spec, the memory interface is running out of spec, the AGP port is running out of spec and the PCI bus is running out of spec. I hear this claim all the time, but what parameters are out of spec? Ten made this statement, but did not have any details to back it up. My suspicious brain thinks that Intel would make a killer PC133 memory controller, if they didn't have the DRDRAM albatross around their neck. Scumbria
