What do you guys or gals think?
I want a P4 with DDR, and my choices are limited:
1. P4X266 avail. now, but limited mfg.
2. SiS645 not avail. now, but shipping soon. Intel blessed, but I have never used and SiS product, a little nervous about it. Also, who is going to make the boards?
3. Wait for i845D, which ships this month. Probably big mfg support from major players. 815, 850 were widely supported and tweakable (a must) and fairly decent as far as speed, mem bandwidth and such.
I guess the question really is: Will Intel cripple the 845D, so that it is slower than 850, just to please Rambutt? The first two P4-DRR chipsets are a match for 850, will 845D be one too?
