It has been very clear that Intel was not at all pleased with PAT-like tweaks being implemented on their i865PE chipsets by ABIT, ASUS, and AOpen to name a few. There have been rumblings of Intel stopping this by shipping a new revision of the 865 chipset that is "un-PAT-able", says Kyle Bennett from [H]ardOCP. Nathan Glentworth from TweakNews apparantly was informed by MSI that Intel is currently changing i865 shipments to a new revision that has PAT hard locked. This means that vendors will not be able to enable it no matter what the the effort.
So if you're holding off on getting one, make sure to get one now BEFORE the new revision comes out.
