We
set up Intel's new CPU in a base system
that is also comprised of their latest
Motherboard Chipset, the i820.
Also utilized was the next generation
platform memory of choice for Intel,
RAMBUS. Among other things, this
system supports AGP4X and UDMA 66 EIDE
Drive Interfaces. Here are the
specs for our test-bed.
