AOpen AX4SPE Max i865PE Motherboard Review

With the release of the i865 Springdale and i875 Canterwood chipsets from Intel, the final stake has been driven into Rambus' coffin. It seems that even the almighty Intel can buckle under pressure from consumers eventually!

For Intel anyway, 2002 was the year of the i845 chipsets. The chip maker released a total of eight variants on the original SDRAM supporting i845 chipset. Those iterations include the bandwidth-starving i845, the i845D which allowed the Pentium 4 to use DDR memory, the i845E/G which introduced the 533 MHz FSB, and the i845PE/GE which brought DDR333 support to the table. Lesser known i845's included the i845GL and i845GV which were both low cost P4 chipsets with integrated 'Intel Extreme' video.
