3.2E & 3.2EE: Performance Test Configuration
The Soltek PT880Pro also claims compatibility with the new Intel Prescott and EE processors. To test Performance in this configuration, we compared performance tests with the Soltek running a 3.2E and 3.2EE processors. These results were compared to benchmark results with these two CPUs on the Asus P4C800-E.| Performance Test Configuration - 3.2E & 3.2EE | |
| Processor(s): | Intel 3.2E (Prescott) Intel 3.2EE (Extreme Edition) |
| RAM: | 2 x 512MB Mushkin PC3500 Level II 2 x 512MB OCZ PC3500 Platinum Ltd. |
| Hard Drive(s): | Seagate 120GB 7200 RPM (8MB Buffer) |
| Video AGP & IDE Bus Master Drivers: | VIA Hyperion 4.51 (12-02-2003) Intel Chipset Drivers |
| Video Card(s): | ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB (AGP 8X) |
| Video Drivers: | ATI Catalyst 4.1 |
| Operating System(s): | Windows XP Professional SP1 |
| Motherboards: | Soltek SL-PT880Pro-FGR (VIA PT880) Asus P4C800-E (Intel 875P) |
As we were already running 3 complete sets of benchmarks on the PT880Pro with the 3.2C, 3.2E, and 3.2EE, we did not rerun a complete set of benchmarks on a SiS655TX motherboard. While this would have been ideal and we will add these benchmarks in the future, it was simply too time-consuming for this already lengthy review. As a quick check, a 3.2E and 3.2EE was briefly tested in the Asus P4S800D-E to confirm compatibility with these new processors. The SiS655TX chipset Asus had no issues with the 3.2E or 3.2EE in our brief tests.

RE: how did it work - so far it is working great, but there appears to be an issue with the Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro running at AGP 8X setting, though.yak8998 - Monday, February 23, 2004 - link
I skimmed through the article, and was very pleased, especially about the price/features. But then I read about the trashy OC abilities. If they can get this chipset to overclock like an 865/875 board it will be one of the best chipsets to date (and they have to keep the price low)KristopherKubicki - Monday, February 23, 2004 - link
PT880 is kind of an intermediate chipset, i am more interested in pt890.Kristopher

Snide, How did that PT880 work out for ya?snide23 - Monday, February 23, 2004 - link
Odd that this is the first board they have seen with the PT880 chipset. NewEgg has been selling the MSI Neo PT880 for a while now. I have already built one system with it.
