As this source reports, Intel is consulting some Taiwanese mainboard manufacturers now about the necessity of shipping a cheaper version of i845GL chipset (which is a low-cost version of i845G in its turn). The price will be reduced by equipping the i845GL chipset North Bridge with an older ICH2 South Bridge instead of the new and hence more expensive ICH4 supporting USB 2.0. i845GL Lite (i845GLL) will cost around $3-$4 less if the mainboard manufacturers say that they want it.

It is easy to guess that Intel started these discussions inspired by the pricing of the similar SIS645GX (GL) solution, which started shipping in the end of March for around $18 for large customers.
