GamePC heeft een review gepost van Intel's <kuch>fantastische</kuch> Cape Cod moederplank met i820 chipset en DIMM slots. Het ding blijkt prima te werken, alleen valt de memory performance in sommige gevallen met 30 tot 40% terug dankzij de memory controller die het plankje geschikt maakt voor SDRAM:
It's pretty clear to us, the I820 chipset is nothing without Rambus, they're built for one another. In any case, the CC820 is definitely not suited for gamers, or tweakers, or serious business applications, pretty much whatever needs to be done can be done on a BX-board with better performance. Intel's really in a tough spot on this board. People demand a next-generation platform, but need legacy (SDRAM) support, as opposed to completely going to Rambus, which seems to be the next logical step computer buyers will need to make. So they have to cut-back performance to add an SDRAM board to the lineup, but when it doesn't perform up to par, people will get angry. It's a tough call to make, but the fact remains that the performance of this board doesn't live up to the hype that the I820 has generated. If you have SDRAM, stick with BX, but if you're buying I820, buy some Rambus with it.
Positief nieuws: het gebruik van AGP4x in combinatie met een TNT2 bleek een snelheidswinst van maar liefst 2% te bewerkstelligen
