Under Quake III Arena things get a little more interesting. Ideally the i815 running at 133MHz should be able to keep up with the overclocked BX chipset but as you can see by the 5.8 fps difference in scores, this isn't an ideal situation. Granted that a portion of that advantage is due to the fact that the BX chipset is running its AGP bus at 89MHz while the i815 is keeping it at the standard 66MHz, but the difference still shouldn't be that great.
The VIA 133A is also capable of edging out the i815 in performance as well, but once again it isn't able to compete with the two year old BX platform.
The more expensive i820 solution is still falling behind, it is clear that the i815 is a much cheaper and much better 133MHz FSB solution from Intel than the i820 + RDRAM platform.
As the GeForce 2's memory bandwidth limitation comes into play, the platform you're running on becomes less of a factor. In this case you're fine running an old 100MHz FSB CPU on a 100MHz FSB platform.

As technology is progressing day by day, more and more devices are coming on the market. It was the year 1997 when the chipset for system pentium 2 was introduced before the Intel 815 Chipset. Both these chipsets worked best at their times and now I can check https://www.researchwritingking.com/review-of-boom... to find out quality work. Thank you.
