Chuck - RE: "I found the news about Compaq using 810 with 600MHz PIII is interesting. I was under the impression that 810 was for the low end of the market. Any comments on this?" Yeah. I remember the Intelabees talking about how no one would use the i810 chipset with the PIII after news hit that initial i810 chipsets had a problem running the PIII. "The i810 chipset is for the low-end, the PIII is a high end processor. No one will combine the two."!!! Also interesting from the link - ""No one really cares about megahertz anymore. We are just being drawn into it. We don't switch until they stop selling the ones we are currently buying," said an IT manager for a Fortune 50 oil company. However, Compaq, IBM, and Dell will also introduce 600-MHz and 500-MHz systems on the consumer side where there is a heightened interest in performance. " So in the commercial world, MHz doesn't matter but in retail it still does.
