815E vs. 815EP

[pdqcarrera]

Intel* doesn't show any difference between the 815E and 815EP chipset and I can't seem to find a comparison anywhere else. Can anybody fill me on the difference please?
As always, thanks in advance.

The biggest difference is that the 815EP does not contain onboard video.

I think that's about the only difference?? Isn't it?
Although the difference between the CUSL2(815E) and the CUSL2-C(815EP) is the EP doesn't have the video, is missing one CNR slot, and has less USB ports. But those aren't limitations of the chipset.
I would guess video is the only difference as well.

I think the cusl2-c also doesnt accept celeron PPGA processors whereas the cusl2 does. Not 100% sure though.

The ONLY difference between the i815E and the i815EP is the removed i752 onboard video functionality.

Other differences that occur between i815E and i815EP boards are up to manufacturer implementation and have nothing to do with the chipset.

Do both chipsets let you set the memory bus at 100 and the FSB at 133.

Torcida: Yeah you can set the Memory bus at whatever you like.

 

[max105]

you can set it at either 133/100 fsb/memory or 133/133 fsb/memory.

the main thing that sets the 815e from the 815ep is just the video. other than that, they're pretty much identical. everything else would just be left up to the motherboard manufacterer to put on their 815e and 815ep motherboards.
