Are you on the look for the ultimate motherboard for your Celeron or Pentium III CPU? Do you use to dream of a motherboard that supports AGP 4x & UDMA 100 to enhance the performance of your Celeron or Pentium III processor when using SDRAM? If so the new Intel D815EPEA2 Motherboard is definitely for you! Based on Intel latest chipset i815EP, this new motherboard has been intensely tested here in details as well as the fastest Celeron 850MHz CPU to date. Be sure to read our complete review & benchmarks to learn more about this mainstream platform. Here is a snippet from the review:
Whether you decide to build a Pentium III or Celeron based computer, you need a good motherboard to support the processor you’ll choose. In these days the motherboard you’ll build your future computer around is as important as the processor itself. Indeed the motherboard you’ll choose will set the level of performance you can expect from your new system and will define your upgrade possibilities. Another major thing to consider is that the motherboard has also a role to play for the whole system stability. Until now many of you know that the most reliable chipset on earth was surely the old good Intel 440BX. However the 440BX doesn’t offer today’s technology refinements like UDMA 100, AGP 4x, PC133 SDRam, etc. With the mixed success of the i820 chipset that requires Rambus memory and the bugs that hit it, Intel has finally released a new chipset called i815 that supports perfectly the affordable SDRAM memory along with Pentium III and Celeron CPUs. This chipset is definitely the worth successor of the 440BX one for mainstream, office and even mid range gaming dedicated computers. Intel sent us for review their latest i815EP based motherboard known as Easton2 or D815EPEA2 for review as well as the latest Celeron 850MHz processor coming from the Santa Clara factories.
