Talk:List of Intel chipsets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the chipset compatibility it should be added that 865 + 875 chipsets can support pentium d and in come cases c2d cpus. ;-)
You should somehow mention that the MTH for i820 and i840 is almost useless, because its buggy.
Eventually would like to split the 8x and the ex chipsets into seperate categories Windkin 08:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
where the note says: |Note 1: The Pentium Pro, Pentium II/III, and the Celerons based on them are essentially the same design with minor internal revisions and varying cache designs. Because of this, the same chipset can be used for Socket 8, Socket 370, Slot 1, or Slot 2 designs with any CPU in the P6 family. In practice however, newer chipset designs are usually only made for the newer processor packages, and older ones may not be updated to accommodate for recent package designs. In addition, certain chipsets may be implemented in motherboards with different processor packages, much like how the 440FX could be used either with a Socket 8 Pentium Pro or Slot 1 Pentium II. ...it should be noted that Slot 1 and the initial Socket 370 were pretty much identical, to the point that (A) you could use a Socket 370 chip in an electrically passive Slotket connector in a Slot 1 board, and (B) I'm fairly sure that I saw a few boards with both connectors (not SMP, just "use one or the other" - just as there are a small number of similar AMD 754/939 boards.) The Slotket article also mentions a Socket 8 to Slot 1 adapter, although I don't recall ever seeing such a thing myself. - 209.78.47.227 02:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

- Here's your adapter for Socket 8. So, maybe Socket 370 is basically Socket 8 reorganized? :) --Swaaye 03:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Core/Xeon chipsets?
Where are the 5000X, 5000P, etc? Frankie
