RDRAM slot 1's anyone

[explorer]

Does anyone have a recommendation on slot 1 motherboards that support RDRAM?

Nobody answered so ...........................

This isn't a recommendation, but you need either an i820 or i840 mobo to use a slot 1 CPU with RDRAM. Hopefully you're only considering this because you have access to some free RDRAM, because it isn't worth buying.

That being said, the Intel VC820 is available starting at about $35. Some others are available on Pricewatch from Transcend, Acer, and Gigabyte for considerably more cash. Dunno much about them though.

The i840 chipset is used in expensive dual CPU mobos and there are also some pricey i820 dual CPU mobos also.

The problem is that I already have the VC820 from Intel and it is horrible, for overclocking anyway. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on any rdram motherboards from non-intel vendors?

why don't you just switch back to SDRAM mobo? it's not as if SDRAM is expensive nowadays...

Now that I think about it, thats not such a bad idea.

thanks

If you're still interested, Supermicro has some awesome i840 dual slot 1 bds. The PIIIDRE and DR3. Very expensive though.
