<What I heard from a reliable source is that 810e supports 100 MHz and 133 MHz FSB speeds; whereas 810 supports 66 and 100 MHz bus speeds. 810e has a few other enhancements which I don't fully recall.>

Thanks. It's all starting to make sense.

Perhaps the 810e will serve as the replacement for 440BX and become the primary SDRAM platform for Pentium III. From what I'm hearing, it seems to me that the 810e will have a superset of the features currently found in 440BX. Some of the additional features would include AGP-4x (maybe, I don't know about that), audio-modem riser slot, UDMA-66, random-number generator, HubLink, 100 and 133 MHz FSB, and maybe PC133 SDRAM support (once again, I don't know about that).

It may cost more than 440BX, but the additional features would make 810e more suitable for future platform initiatives, like some sort of PC-2000 spec or whatever.
