Petz, <Yes, the 810E has integrated graphics which are now almost two generations behind in performance. (About equivalent to the TNT, which has been replaced by the TNT2 and is about to be replaced by the GeForce 256 (and similar).)> More knowledgeable people on chipsets can comment but I believe 810E supports external AGP-2 graphics. If true, don't you think that is sufficient? (yes, Intel may have to discount the price a little) Chuck

Petz - RE: "Yes, the 810E has integrated graphics which are now almost two generations behind in performance. (About equivalent to the TNT, which has been replaced by the TNT2 and is about to be replaced by the GeForce 256 (and similar).)" So when PC magazines test PIIIB systems vs. Athlon systems, this video card may limit the PIII's true performance. And as we have already seen, PC magazines aren't afraid to crown Athlon systems the champion.
