PCStats has reviewed Albatron's special i845PE based motherboard PX845PEV-800. The speciality of it lies in the fact that Albatron claims the board will run up to 200 MHz FSB and support PC3200 DDR memory. This would enable it to utilize the upcoming Prescott and Tejas processors from which at least Prescott will launch later this year. You got to keep in mind though that Prescott 800Mhz support will remain unofficial with the 845PE chipset. Here is an excerpt: At 145 MHz FSB we hit a snag and had to raise the CPU Voltage to 1.65V to help stabilize things. As suspected we maxed out at 150 MHz FSB, anything higher and we wouldn't be able to load Windows. For the sake of testing we also loaded up the P4 1.6A, that chip was able to hit 175 MHz FSB with a CPU voltage of 1.75V before becoming unstable. I'm positive that if I had a P4 capable of 200 MHz FSB I could run it on the PX845PEV-800 without any problems.
