[EDIT: I checked out the Intel specs and indeed their motherboard does have the old ICH2 southbridge that doesn't support USB 2.0 according to THG. I think they must have added some chips for the USB 2.0 support or something]
So, whats up with the latest article about the 850E chipset? I have heard that Intel doesn't officially support the new 1066 RDRAM (its supposed to work anyway). But even Intel's site says that some of its 850E mobos support USB 2.0. Here is the quote:
Designed for the Intel® 850E chipset, the Desktop Board D850EMV2 utilizes the full bandwidth and performance in the Pentium 4 processor with dual RAMBUS* channels and brings Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity to the desktop.

Just ordered my new system from Alienware w/ the 1066 RDRAM and USB 2.0 support (I darn well hope)!!!!!
