From ZDNN: PIII glitch hangs 810
Intel's new 810 chip won't work with the PIII.

An erratum that affects the Pentium III's SSE or Streaming SIMD multimedia instruction set is keeping Intel's new 810 chip set from working with the chip.

The erratum, called MaskMovQ, is a Pentium III glitch. And while Intel has created a workaround for it, the 810 doesn't support it, making it incompatible with the Pentium III. Intel isn't supporting the workaround in the chip set because the 810 was not designed or validated to work with the Pentium III, said Intel spokesman Dan Fancisco.

"If the two are put together, it could result in a system hang," he said.

The 810, which ships this month, was designed as a low-cost chip set for Intel's Celeron processor. It integrates a 3D graphics engine and supports modem and audio functions in software to help reduce cost.

While the Pentium III and the 810 do not work together, forthcoming Intel 800 series chip sets will work with the chip.
