Intel's Non-Rambus Chipsets for P4

Now, when you upgrade to a P4, you can swipe all the old DIMMs off your motherboard while you save up for those high-class Rambus chips. At Computex today (well - Monday, Taipei is 16 hours ahead of us here in San Francisco) Intel announced that it would offer its first non-Rambus chipsets for the P4 so that customers aren't immediately forced to switch to Rambus volatile memory. The 845 chipset will support run-of-the-mill dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips running at 133 Mhz. The Intel 845 is the first non-Rambus chipset for the Pentium 4 to be manufactured in-house by Intel, though it has licensed the design to Taiwan's Silicon Integrated Systems and Acer Laboratories.
