Intel Goes DDR - Do We Really Care?Dec 17, 2001 - in Reviews
Intel is never shy of doing really weird things. Today marks the 're-release' of Intel's 845 Pentium 4 chipset. It's the same silicon as the i845 released in summer, only that now Intel 'allows' motherboard makers to use its DDR-support. Intel's marketing department calls this old new chipset i845D. We compared this wannabe newcomer to the other five established Pentium 4 chipsets.

The Best Thing That Could Happen To Intel's Pentium 4 - The SiS645 ChipsetOct 8, 2001 - in Reviews
Despite its history as a low-budget chipset maker, SiS had recently been able to prove its ability to provide high performance core logic with the introduction of the well-performing SiS735 Athlon chipset. Today SiS launches its first Pentium 4 chipset, dubbed 'SiS645', for DDR memory. SiS645 is not just a Pentium 4 DDR-chipset. It is also the first to support the new DDR333 memory, which provides 25% more bandwidth than DDR266 a.k.a. PC2100. The attractive SiS645 package is finally able to touch Intel's i850 ...

VIA Teams Up Pentium 4 With DDR-MemoryAug 17, 2001 - in Reviews
Now that Intel is selling Pentium 4 at rather aggressive prices, all it takes to make the processor enter the mass market is a reasonably priced platform. The i850 chipset with its requirement of the expensive RDRAM is still unable to offer that. While Intel's upcoming value-chipset for Pentium 4 will initially only support the rather slow PC133 SDRAM, VIA's P4X266 is ready to bring fast DDR-support to Intel's flagship processor.

First Look At Brookdale - Intel's Upcoming 845 ChipsetJul 2, 2001 - in Reviews
Pentium 4 sales remain low, which is not entirely the fault of the price/performance of Intel's flagship processor. Current i850 platforms require Rambus' expensive and unpopular RDRAM, which reduces Pentium 4's appeal to the buyers even more. Soon Intel will come up with an alternative to i850 plus RDRAM. In a few weeks we will have the chance to spend our money for an even crazier solution. The i845 chipset will team up Pentium 4 with the slow and ageing PC133 memory. We tested this bizarre combination.

VIA's DDR-Runner For Athlon - The Apollo KT266 ChipsetApr 9, 2001 - in Reviews
VIA doesn't like to rush things. The Taiwanese chipset maker always takes a bit longer to provide the latest technologies, especially for AMD processors. Finally VIA is able to provide a SocketA-platform with DDR-support. Now the long expected Apollo KT266 has to stick up against AMD's 760 DDR-platform. Is it a worthy competitor to AMD's product?
