Cirrus - <Petz and Ace's Hardware say the i810E does NOT support an external AGP slot, so when running on that chipset the "E" will be crippled by Intel's interpretation of a video card and the inability to use DRDRAM. So with this chipset, "E" may not be able to reach the Athlon's performance level like the "B" systems could in a certain benchmark.> You very well may have a point on relative performance between platforms. This is speaking intuitively, as I have not seen i810e / Coppermine performance data. However, this was probably to be the target vehicle to get the Coppermine to the Mainstream segment, regardless of the i820 situation. I.e., Christmas sales to the Mainstream Consumer space, so I bet it's not a total dog. Speaking intuitively again. PB
