Intel asks Mobo Clients to Drop Claim of PAT Support on Springdale

"Intel has asked motherboard makers to stop promoting 865PE boards as supporting PAT (Performance Acceleration Technology) to avoid depressing sales of its 875 (Canterwood) chipsets.

In response, companies including Asustek Computer, Abit Computer and Epox Computer have stated that their 865PE boards have a functionality "similar" to Intel’s PAT and are their proprietary technology designs. Asustek calls its memory bus speeding function "Hyper Path," while Abit calls its "Game Accelerator.""
I was wondering when Intel was going to speak up about this.
