Intel CPU chipsets. I'm confused.

theplanb · Apr 30, 2001

I don't know how intel cpu chipsets are different..
I know.. BX is an old one

and.. 820 is for P4 I think..
Where can I get some basic intel chipsets informations?

suppose you could root around intel's website for technical info!

i850 is for P4.

i820 is for the PIII, but uses RDRAM

BX is best if you're willing to overclock the PCI and AGP bus, i815EP is best if not (i815EP is i815E without built-in intel's 3D-Deccelerator

).
i820 was for p3 but used rdram, and there was a i820+MTH thing whih was buggy and hence discontinued

Will someone recomend some boards with i815EP chipset?

CUSL2-C is good, but so are the MSI's!

I'm with ToBeMe. Both the Asus and MSI offerings are nice.
