Paul, <The NetVista A21 lineup features an Intel* 810E2 core chipset>

What a success that 810 chipset is! Even though the enthusiasts and AMDroids panned it for its lack of 3D performance, I was one of the few who saw this chipset's potential. This was back in 1999. Two years later (that's 14 in dog years and an eternity in computer years), the chipset is still getting design wins and selling in good volumes.

Not only that, but it also opened up a new market for chipsets with integrated graphics. Notice the hype over nForce? Remember how AMD cited a lack of integrated graphics chipsets as a reason for poor Duron sales several quarters ago? Notice how the Taiwanese chipset developers are adding integrated chipsets to their portfolios?

So while everyone else is focused on clock speeds, processor performance, and stupid benchmark tricks, I think it's worth pointing out things which don't have such "sex appeal" like that humble but amazingly successful 810 chipset.
