NEWS / Das Asus P4P800 wird zum i875P Board

Den Kollegen von ComputerBase ist bereits in ihrem Springdale RoundUP aufgefallen, dass die i865PE Platine von Asus, das P4P800, in Sachen Leistung unheimlich nahe an das P4C800 herankommt, welches auf dem eigentlich schneller i875P Canterwood basiert...

Der einzige Unterschied zwischen Springdale und Canterwood, die Performance Acceleration Technology, lässt sich nun auch auf dem P4P800 von Asus freischalten, was das Board zu einem Canterwood aufwertet. Hierzu hat Asus bereits die folgende Pressemeldung herausgegeben...

"Taipei, Taiwan; May 28, 2003 – ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), the worldwide leader of motherboards, today announced its P4P800 series motherboards, based on Intel’s latest 865PE chipset, are able to active Intel’s Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) for robust computing. Currently, ASUS’ 865PE motherboards are the only solutions in the market that provide this advanced feature.

PAT is a trigger for extreme performance, boosting system performance by 3-5%. Combined with the 865PE chipset enabling an 800MHz system bus, it is designed for extreme performance. According to Intel, PAT is an exclusive technology for the 875P chipset, but with ASUS’ strong engineering capability, the P4P800 series comes equipped with this feature as well.

To activate PAT, simply go into BIOS setup utility. Here are the simple steps:
