BX chip getting old?

[Orion_Ta_Vega]

When is the next chip coming out for Mobos? Is it going to be called the Camino? Should I wait for it before I get my mobo? I'm am building my own computer so I dont want to wait too long. What kind of performance dif are we going to be talking about with the new chip? More FSB's? Just what are the dif. going to be?

The "Camino" chipset will be the i820, soon to occupy the next generation of motherboards. It's main improvement over the 440BX series is the support for ATA-66 HDDs. Other enhancements no doubt make it more suitable for the 133MHz FSB Pentium IIIs and beyond.

I've been hearing "September".

If you're looking for "more FSBs", check out the MS-6163Pro (v.2). There's a review at overclock.digiweb.com (http://overclock.digiweb.com) . I just got one and will be reporting on it soon.
