Hothardware have a 5-way Intel Springdale (i865) shootout. Targets are from ABIT, Albatron, Asus, Chaintech and MSI. I guess the i865 doesn’t require an introduction anymore… Officially not supporting PAT, which his greater brother i875 does, but unofficially able to reach the same levels of performance due to bios alterations, it is probably the most interesting chipset for the Pentium 4 platform at the moment.
“When all was said and done, and the boards were placed safely back into their boxes, we looked back at our notes and charts for an answer as to which of the boards was going to be the “one”. Performance-wise, the Asus P4P800 dominated the charts, displacing the “hype” about the HyperPath technology with facts about its true worth. “
ABIT did very well too, but you can read that here.
