Albatron releases FSB 1200MHz Canterwood

**MIG-31** · Jan 6, 2004, 01:05 PM

MOBO FIRM Albatron certainly resisted the Canterwood chipset in 2003, having only an i865 based motherboard as the top end of its line. But now it's decided for some reason to offer the i875 even though the world+dog knows that the 865 can run almost or as fast as 875 with a new BIOS tweak that can enable Performance Acceleration Technology (GELSINGER). Officially PAT is a feature that 865 does not support but this is just what Intel wants you to believe. There are only two real differences between 875 and 865. One is that the former has CC memory support while the second is that the i875 will cost you $10.

Albatron sensed that its PX875X board with AGP 8X and 5 PCI has its place and that it should be equipped with eight USB ports, 3Com 10/100 LAN card, six channel audio with SP-DIF, two Serial ATA and two IDE drives. Albatron claims that its board should be really nice for overcockers and that it can get your FSB to run at 1200MHz or even faster. While an overcocked board should run DDR 400 memory faster than JEDEC's specification, Albatron assures us.

PAT together with a 1200MHz FSB seems to be the key to this product and we'll just have to wait and see whether you will be able to choose from 400/533/800 and 1200MHz, as stated.

so why would i give a link to the exact same words as i have posted.

just what is the point of reading it once then reading it a second time.

ok. credit given, now you can go and read it twice.

but that way i think is pointless.
