New Asus 850E board to have 32bit RDRAM!!!
Was over at x-bit, and they have a leaked product announcement for the new 850e board.. check it out..


ASUS P4T533 (i850E)
The Best Performance for Pentium 4
The ASUS P4T533 incorporates the Intel 850E chipset with high-bandwidth 1066MHz RDRAM support to deliver the best performance for latest 533MHz FSB Pentium 4 processors. A maximum 2GB of RDRAM is supported with a peak bandwidth reaching up to 4.2GB/s. Play the most advanced 3D games without a glitch, and get the best performance out of today's memory intensive applications. The ASUS P4T533 and Pentium 4 combine to provide an ideal scalable, high performance platform for desktops and workstations.

Motherboard Features:

Best Performance. The ASUS P4T533 offers 533 MHz bus speeds and 2GB RDRAM support, that translates into an industry leading 4.2 GB/s peak bandwidth. High bandwidth is necessary for optimal performance in 3D graphics, video and audio processing and more.
ATA133 RAID 0/1. An onboard ATA133 RAID controller supports the latest hard drives and provides optimal performance options.
6-Channel Audio (optional). The P4T533 uses an onboard C-Media audio controller, letting you enjoy 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.
Ultra-fast USB 2.0 Connectivity. The ASUS P4T533 features USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity specification for peripheral devices and features transfer speeds of up to 480 Mb/s.
Onboard 10/100Mbps LAN. A LAN controller ensures convenient connectivity to your network, SOHO, and broadband.
Quiet and Efficient Fan Operation. ASUS Q-Fan intelligently adjusts CPU fan speeds according to system loading. The result is maximum fan power when you need it most and quiet operation when you don't.

Looks to be a kick ass board if it really does get released.. I wonder if abit will put out a TH7-III with 32 bit rdram as well..

Errr, all P4 RDRAM boards have 32-bit memory paths. It works like this: RDRAM uses 8-bit addressing. Each DIMM has TWO 8 bit paths, so is 16-bits. Since they're used in PAIRS, it's 32-bit. The data pathway from the CPU to northbridge is 64-bits, while the pathway from the northbridge to RDRAM is 32-bits, which explains why PC800 is needed to cope with a QDR400 FSB.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
