Our reference board was a Gigabyte GA-8IHXP based on the 850E chipset from Intel as well as PC1066 RDRAM. You shouldn’t try to compare these two platforms directly because they target a wide range of buyer groups : while the Intel chipset, in connection with Rambus memory, always attains the best performance, this combination is much more expensive than the SiS648 and DDR333.
