Intel 533FSB MBs

[simesime13]

I just found this Intel Board on www.bcd2000.com :

Intel D850EMV2L 533FSB RDRAM LAN USB2.0

Has anyone come across any benchmarks for this Motherboard??
Is it really that much faster than the 400FSB?

Also, can I take advantage of the USB 2.0 with Windows 2K?

This is a pretty cool website. They have some sort of Intel store thing going on. Very nice stuff!!

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

usb with win2k i think would need a driver... if there's one written it should work...

and for performance, as always it depends on what it's runnin with.

I think you should read this article as well:

Does an interesting analysis of the chipset, also explains why PC1066 RDRAM is important to use with the new chipset.

MY PENTIUM 4 SYSTEM runs with a 533 (133) front side bus and a 2.4ghz northwood(1.8) the system is very fast and i did see an improvement in my x-mpeg encoding after i had increased the bus speed to 533mhz.also pc1066 rambus is faster than any 'standard ddr' memory and it brings rambus back to the top in the speed stakes.
From what i have found though at the moment is that many new boards are based on the sis 645dx or the intel845d/e which both utilise DDR memory i havnt seen any decent boards with the 850e apart from the one mentioned above.
