Meet Intel’s 9xx-Series Chipsets
Introduction
This article is a follow-up to my two-part "Partners for Prescott" series written in 2004. That series of articles described major features of the newest Intel chipset series for Pentium 4 processors, the 9xx series http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=347269 and compared the first 9xx-series chipsets to their predecessors http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=347272.
Since these articles were written, Intel has introduced several new chipsets in the 9xx series. This article describes the major features of these chipsets, compares them to the established members of the 9xx family, and helps you discover which of these chipsets might be most suitable for your next system or motherboard upgrade.
