PB - RE: "The Intel 810E Chipset, priced at $39.50 in 10,000-unit quantities, supports the current line of Pentium III processors as well as next-generation Pentium III processors built utilizing Intel's new 0.18 micron process technology, scheduled to reach the marketplace later this year." 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.
