SUMMARY: It seems that nearly everyone is jumping aboard the new Intel i845D bandwagon, and Asus is no exception. Come join Cameron "Sov" Johnson as he takes a look at the Asus P4B266 Motherboard that uses just this chipset. Add in DDR memory support, and we should have a pretty good board, but we'll let the figures do the talking.
The recent plunge into the Pentium 4 processor platform has been that of some failure. With expensive memory being needed and new PSU's needed, this has caused the consumer to look towards alternatives like AMD Athlon XP processors. However, with Intel's release of the i845 chipset supporting SDRAM and the new D-Step i845 supporting DDR-SDRAM, the Pentium 4 has gained some popularity. ASUS, following the market trends as they normally do, have released another feature packed motherboard; the ASUS P4B266.
