The RDRAM Avenger - Intel
Краткое содержание статьи: Intel's 840-chipset may be designed for workstations, but it is the one chipset that is all that what i820 was supposed to be and never became. i840 is far superior to i820 at rather reasonable costs and it's interesting to the gamer as well as the performance freak.

Ultra-ATA

You are certainly aware of it, the 'ICH' = I/O controller hub of i820 and i840 (it's the same for both) is capable of 'UltraDMA66' or 'UDMA' or 'ATA66', which stands for a maximum data transfer bandwidth of 66 MB/s between the system and the IDE-hard drive, as long as the hard drive supports it. The 440BX chipset is only able to do 'ATA33' = up to 33MB/s between system and IDE HDD.

Now which driver supports the new ATA66 under Windows98 and what do you have to use under WindowsNT even for ATA33? Intel has finally released a pretty swanky driver, which you can find here. This driver works for Windows98 as well as for WindowsNT, although the install-routine under NT has got a little bug that you will notice after installation, if you look into the 'SCSI-Devices' control tab. There you won't find the new driver, although it's running fine. Instead you'll see the old standard-IDE driver marked with 'not started'. Anyway, whoever is using IDE disks and Intel-chipsets should have a look at Intel's new Ultra ATA driver.

Benchmark Expectations

What should we see when testing the different chipsets against each other? Well, I would like to see superior numbers of i840, showing its impressive 3.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, which is double the bandwidth of i820 and even quadruple the one of BX. BX should look bad in 3D-applications, since it's the only one of the three without AGP4X-support. i820 should be somewhere in between i840 and BX, especially in memory-intensive applications. OK, can you agree with that?
