The Tech Report handles a DFI motherboard based on the i845B (Brookdale DDR). What a screwed up name.
What the NB70-SC lacks in features, bells, and whistles, it makes up in solid performance, stability, and the Intel name on the chipset. Unfortunately, our review of the NB70-SC comes in a little late, despite our discovery of some interesting limitations of AC'97 on-board audio. The next iteration of Intel processors and chipsets, which will use a 533MHz front side bus, is already upon us. The NB70-SC's performs quite well as is, but performance-sensitive users would be well advised to see what kind of performance can be leveraged from a faster front side bus.
