Intel PAT Compared On 865PE Boards 117
Xaley writes "There is roundup at VR-Zone on
several 865PE boards
which came equipped with Intel PAT feature and definitely consumers will be
happy to purchase these boards without paying a premium price that Intel has
charged for their 875P chipset. A typical 865PE board costs around $150 and a
875P board costs around $200-250 so it is a cost savings of $100. Of course,
Intel won't be too happy about it since sales of their 875P chipsets will be
affected but there is no stopping for motherboard manufacturers from adding in
the PAT feature into their 865PE boards now."

Funniest quote from the whole article:
There are so many good marketing specs thrown into 875P that make the hardware enthusiasts to go after it and even prepare to pay a premium for it.
I take back all those nasty comments about hole-in-the-wall-2-guys-in-a-dorm-room-'review' sites. Well, okay, not all of them- even this guy has some SERIOUS grammar problems :-)
