Interesting with the TV-out/DVO card that sits in the AGP slot.

Seems to NOT support DDR333 - at least not officially. According to Toms Hardware it should, and giving really good performance (at least when paired with a GF3 card). Check that here (http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/02q2/020501/ddr400vsrambus-06.html) (845G is the "future chipset 1", earlier it really said 845G but I guess Intel forced Tom to change it).

Anyone heard anything about the 3D-performance of 845G? One number I saw was half that of GF2MX400!?!

Hmm, if this is true, the built in graphics of the 845G will basically be useless for the latest/upcoming games - just as what was the case with the 810 chipset. They should have learned something.........

yes, but still good enough for most business applications...
at least it's better than what sis and via offering, right?
