A Lackluster Premiere: ALi Aladdin-P4

What Awaits The P4: 133 MHz FSB In Sight?

Essentially the same thing holds for the ALi Aladdin-P4 as for all other Pentium 4 chipsets - it still remains to be seen whether the next-generation Pentium 4 with an FSB clock speed of 133 MHz will even work with today's crop of boards, although the BIOS is generally designed as though it will. As for Intel's renowned 850 component, there's no question that the Pentium 4 (Northwood core) doesn't offer any 133 MHz support. In other words, once the new Pentium 4 comes out, we should be expecting a new batch of chipsets to handle the increased FSB clock speed.
