It's kind of useless. It was the first P4 dual channel motherboard chipset, which could run memory at 266mhz DDR with dual channel - which was amazing at the time but quickly beaten by the 865/875 chipsets. Without a southbridge it's probably unusable.

For an idea of the specs, look up p4g8x on google, Asus made an e7205 based board

[owies]

i don`t know how with sb, done 2pic only, [my ftp is full] check it out, it looks like no sb on standard :/

edit:
like says my friend: maybe that mobo was used to testing cpus and some other stuff, when it fry capacitors intel enginiers or somb. remove the sb because fix it is hard and leave the mobo on electronic garbage/trash place
later somb. find it and take to poland [from germany i think] and gives me it :D
"not FCC approved" i think not for home or office use :rolleyes: ?

Czekam z niecierpliwością, aż zbadasz całą płytę co do jednego chipa i wymyślisz coś ciekawego :D

[owies]

[ps24eva]

that mobo is crap

very outdated

[ps24eva]

granite bay had many problems

[Tyrou]

the first dual-ddr chipset, that was worth the issues encountered :D

I had a P4G8X, I paid it $300, and one moth after, the P4C800 appeared :(

GraniteBay = Bad Board

Belongs in Intel’s museum as static example,exhibit to demonstrating the evolution time line of the Northwood’s family “Bad Board GraniteBay” :D

School report read must try harder in second term if PC market is going to embrace or face being sent back :eek:

[s0ck]

My P4G8X was great. Not one complaint with it. The DDR266 support could have been higher but that was the nature of the chipset, at the time.
