However, the E also supports ECC error correction, making this chipset an updated version of the With seven different models to choose from, selecting the right series chipset can be tricky. Use Table 1 to provide an overview of the major differences between each of these chipsets.
The chipsets are listed in power from left to right, and are separated by whether they have integrated video or not. In general, the best chipset with integrated video is the GE, and the best chipset without integrated video is the PE. As Table 1 makes clear, different members of the family are best suited for different tasks.
To learn more, select a chipset name in Figure 1 and see the schematic diagram for that chipset. While Extreme Graphics Architecture improves 3D rendering compared to Intels earlier integrated video chipsets, the and series chipsets, which had no 3D functions at all, its performance and features still lag behind even current mid-range video chipsets from nVidia and ATI.
Thus, while you can play an occasional game with the G-series systems with integrated video, if you want serious game play, youre much better off with one of the models which support AGP 4x and DDR memory such as the GE or PE.
If youre considering moving to a 3GHz or faster Pentium 4 processor or a new motherboard or system based on an series chipset, the issue of Hyper-Threading HT technology support is very important.
What is Hyper-Threading? Simply put, its a method for turning a single physical processor into two virtual processors, with each virtual processor handling different threads series of tasks.
This is also called Thread-level parallelism, or TLP , and the new 3. This is like turning a 3. To be able to activate and utilize the HT Technology, you will need the following:. All 3.
Finally, you will also need an operating system designed to support dual processors, currently the only operating systems that support HT Technology are Windows XP Home and Professional editions. In a survey of recent reviews from noted hardware review sources, its clear that the PE and GE chipsets are the fastest members of the family, thanks in large part to support for DDR memory and a MHz FSB speed.
The PE and GE are identical except the GE also includes integrated video, which allows a lower cost system to be constructed no separate video card is required. The integrated video in the GE is not quite as fast as a separate AGP 4x card, but the integrated video can be disabled and replaced by an AGP 4x card for greater performance if desired. The chipset family from Intel offers a wide range of performance and features, no matter what level of system performance you want.
Motherboards using various members of the family are available from Intel and most other major motherboard vendors.
