DFI 855GME-MGF and Pentium-M Dothan Desktop Performance

jmke · 3rd January 2005, 15:12

In this our first article of 2005, we're going to take a look back at recent history and examine a driving force in computing technology that was dominant throughout much of 2004. Intel launched its mobile Centrino technology in mid-2003. It took a while to ramp up but once this new platform initiative gathered steam, it took off like a rocket for what has been a hugely successful marketing and technology development effort. The centerpiece of this new architecture was Intel's new Pentium M processor core, then code named "Banias", which has since been enhanced and updated in .09 micron process technology, now known as the "Dothan" Pentium M core.

"The DFI 855GME-MGF (and/or possibly the 855GME chipset it uses) seemed to have a stable FSB limit of 133MHz."

They prolly cant go any further because of the AGP lock but they don't mention that.

do I hear somebody gearing up to do a small OC report @ [M] by Agent #2 ?

Well I got a pci graka ordered (something cheap) and maybe then I'll be able to post some nice results.

Oh, I meant AGP lock in my previous post.
