i865PE Waves PAT Goodbye...

Sources among mainboard manufacturers said today that Intel will be replacing the existing revision of the i865P and i865PE chipsets with a new one that will not allow turning on the Performance Accelerating Technology, a very proprietary feature of Intel Canterwood also known as i875P core-logic.

Earlier this year almost all mainboard makers positioning their products for the retail market and hardware enthusiasts started to switch on Intel’s PAT on i865P and i865PE-based mainboards, causing sales of i875P chipsets to slump. In order to rebound sales of the higher-end desktop chipset, Intel plans to introduce a special revision of Springdale core-logic with hardware modification that does not allow setting the more aggressive transactions between memory and core-logic, the conception of Intel’s Performance Accelerating Technology.

Just after the new revision of Springdale makes it to the market, sales of the i875P will go upwards rapidly, Intel seems to believe.

hmm, newegg has the p4p800 deluxe for 134, i might jump on it before intel pulls that!

i've been thinking on building a computer lately, but don't want to spend a heck of a lot of money (right now at least), but it's $40+ for the p4c and $60+ for the p4c-e, i don't really need the p4c-e features for sata raid

think it's worth it??

Would we expect prices to drop real soon than? I'm just wondering thats all.

for the p4p800 deluxe ... i mean if intel takes action very soon, then performance of this board might not be as great ...

i just want a VERY good board at a very good price for possibly a LITTLE OCing in the future (when i can afford quality RAM) with probably a 2.4 or 2.6 (i'll probably get the 2.4)
