intel cc820

[himanyu]

hi, i'd read over the intel website that intel cc820 motherboard is being replaced with VC820 + 128MB RDRAM because of the memory hub problems. I would like to confirm this issue and also i would like to know about the carachteristic of VC820. Is it good? Or at least could VC820 solve the CC820 motherboard problem? Thanks.

Yea. The CC820 uses SDRAM when the 820 chipset was designed for the RDRAM platform. So they had to use a "traslator" from SDRAM to RDRAM (something like that). Going to a VC820 using RDRAM will eliminate ther MTH issue since your not using SDRAM. And I think the VC820 is a good board. It from Intel, so high quality.
