GraniteBay Roundup @Digit-Life

Zitat

In closing I must say that the dual-channel E7205 is really fast enough, the the price of the boards will be equivalent to that of the i850E based systems, because exactly this pair takes the lead in all our tests outstripping the tandem of i845PE+DDR333 by 5-20%; at the same time, their scores can differ only by a couple of percents or even less than one. HOwever, the price is still quite high; that is why think well before buying such systems. The situation is the same as with the AGP 8x: take it if you realize what benefits and whre you are going to get. Also remember that Intel is not the only company offering high-performance solutions - in particular, the SiS648 coupled with the DDR400 runs very close to the i850E (sometimes even outrunning), and the system costs much less.
