Cirruslvr, <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.> I was under the impression that i810E unlike i810 had access to external AGP slot but now several people have confirmed that is not the case. This makes it impossible for OEMs to put CuMine with 810E in a highend system. 2-slot 820 is probably out of question for Christmas. The only meaningful solution from Intel for Christmas is CuMine with VIA's chipset (unless Intel turns to RCC or someone else's server solution as a stop gap). And, boy, isn't VIA going to have field day with that one. (they could recover Cyrix cost with the chipset design wins without any contribution from the processor side) Thanks to Intel's bumblings in the recent past, AMD keeps getting these incredible breaks. I am looking forward to the Q3 conference call to see how well the management is prepared to take advantage of the situation. Chuck
