Via, SiS Pentium 4 boards "better than Intel's"

So over on today's Wibbly Wobbly Web, we've quite a clutch of comparisons for you to click onto.

First, Tech Report compares the 845D, the P4X266A, and the SiS 645. The Via and the SiS chipsets do really well.

The Pabster has one here that concludes out of the Intel 845D, the SiS645, the Via P4X266A, the 850, the 845 and the Via P4X266 without the A, the A version of the Via chipset and the SiS 645 are better chipsets than Intel can make. Plus SiS and Via are cheaper.

So is this goodbye Rambus..... Not quite yet, we'll be bound.

AMD Zone writes that people have plugged Athlon XPs into a dual board and the thing works. Why do we not find this a surprise? The post is on Planet3D Now.

Here's one we missed earlier - a review of the Epox KT266A over at [H]ardOCP. µ
