I just read what Ed has dug up on the first page.
Twice the price of a PE mobo can't be true.
Sure the chipset is new, more advanced and might cost more.
Yes the mobo makers will have ta make a lot of changes to their boards, a lot more than they have in the 845 series but still I don't belive it will be twice the price.
A cheapo 845PE mobo costs around 90$ right now right?
A high end 845PE board like the Asus P4 (the one with everythinh on it) costs 150$
I'd guess a cheap GB-board would cost 150$, maybe a bit more.
The high-end maybe over 200$ but not much more.
Then there will hopefully be SiS 655 and it should land at the same price as the PE boards, a little more but not much.
This is just specualtion of course but you don't need to be a writer on a HW-site just to be allowed an opinion right?
