VR-Zone has the latest offering from Epox based on the i845G chipset.
The good news is today, Intel has launched their i845E and i845G series chipsets for 533Mhz FSB Pentium 4 processors and consumers have more choices to make when acquiring a new Pentium 4 processor. The MCH (Northbridge) of the Intel 845E isn't at all exciting except for its official support for 533Mhz system bus but the ICH (Southbridge) is upgraded to support features like six USB 2.0 ports and 6 channels 20-Bit ACÂ’97 audio codec. Intel 845G chipset, on the other hand, is slightly more exciting than Intel 845E as it integrates graphics into the MCH (Northbridge) and becomes GMCH. Intel is all excited about this new integrated graphics technology and called it Extreme Graphics featuring new technologies such as Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), Zone Rendering Technology (ZRT), Rapid Pixel and Texel Rendering Architecture (RPTR) and Intelligent Memory Management Technology.
