There will be more Intel Chipsets coming online for supporting P4, like 845G, 845GL and 845GLL. The spec. for those 845G family is similar with 845D. I couldn't find the detail spec. or introduction from Intel website about those products so far, so I might leave those until next time. 845G is around $45, 845GL is going to be around $35, 845GLL will be even cheaper than 845GL. This is the end of this comparison section for now.
