 The disk performance of chipsets is often neglected in chipset comparisons. In this aspect, many hold Intel chipsets in high regard, and the results confirm this. Both the P4X266 and 645 lag the 845 by 6% on the High-End Disk WinMarks, and by a whooping 30% on the Business Disk WinMarks. As disk performance is also a significant factor in overall performance, these results should not be taken lightly. End-users utilizing "external" (ie. non-integrated) drive controllers shouldn't notice this particular performance disparity.
