Intel Investors - A Pentium 4 - Brookdale Motherboard has (apparently) been announced. It holds up to 3 GigaBytes of PC133 SDRAM memory ! Note also that it is designed for the newer 478 Pin version of the Pentium 4. xbitlabs.com The First Intel 845 Mainboard Is Announced [12:36 pm] ECS (Elitegroup) is the first company venturing to launch a mainboard for Intel Pentium 4 based on the yet not announced Intel 845 (Brookdale) chipset. The new product is called P4IBMS. It is a MicroATX mainboard for Intel Pentium 4 CPUs with Socket478. As we have already said, the board is built on Intel 845 core logic which comprises 82845 Memory Controller Hub, 82801BA I/O Controller Hub and a Firmware Hub. It makes P4IBMS the first Socket478 mainboard to be used for the prospective Pentium 4 models (Northwood and part of Willamette 2GHz). P4IBMS will be provided with one AGP 4x slot, three PCI and one CNR slot. Then, it will boast three 168-pin DIMM slots supporting PC133/PC100 SDRAM. The maximal memory capacity for this board is 3GB. On P4IBMS you’ll find AV97 audio codec and integrated Realtek 8100B LAN controller. ECS will also implement some overclocking-friendly functions. In particular, P4IBM will support the brand Magic Setting TV technology allowing to adjust FSB frequency and Vcore by means of BIOS Setup. The novelty is scheduled to be demonstrated at the nearing Computex session.

Paul - According to a Compaq spokesperson, the chipsets are Intel - and were developed (or modified) by Intel specifically for the blades program. Compaq has not said a lot about the specifics of their first product, but based on the specs - it is a 512MB max memory configuration, 1P - it is probably a modified 815. But the description Compaq gave for the more advanced 2P and 4P blades - ECC, etc, and 2GB or 4GB memory space - specifically called out the Intel 440 chipsets.
