  MSI seems to be really on the ball when it comes to releasing new products to the public. This board is based on the new Intel 845E Pentium 4 chipset supporting the new 533MHz FSB. Intel still hasn't switched to the current DDR333 trend but that's not a big surprise considering DDRII is coming around the corner.

• Matrox Parhelia-512 Preview @ HardwareZone

  Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 | By: Dennis

  I used to be very loyal to Matrox in the days before AGP was a mainstream video solution. My love of Matrox turned with the release of the G200 with its sub-par gaming performance and lack of tweakable features. I have a feeling that this might all change can you say triple-head gaming??

  This could be an overclockers dream. Though if anything the cheaper processor will mean higher sales for Intel. Here are some quick specs on the processor, 400MHz FSB 128k Level-2 Cache running at 1.7 and 1.8GHz. This will most likely be a Willamette core.
  Also proof that ZDnet only reads their news.
  "Although the two companies' chips are often close in terms of performance, Intel's run at faster speeds when measured in megahertz. The new 1.8GHz Celeron is faster than AMD's top Athlon chip, the Athlon XP 2100+, which runs at 1.73GHz."
