Cirrus - <Yes, there is the Via chipset, but I have a hard time seeing Intel recommending OEMs to use a competing product.> Intel might or might not recommend it, but two OEM's are already shipping this solution with "B"'s. PB

Isn't the i810e just a Whitney retooled to run at 133MHz bus?

Cirrus - <Face it, if Intel can't put out CamiNo-Go by the time Cuontimemine comes out, the only thing you can possibly do until it eventually comes out is HOPE the i810E chipset doesn't prove to be an anchor. And with what Intel considers a video card, it looks like the anchor is about to be thrown overboard.> Cirrus and all. Intel designed the i810e to be a Mainstream platform, intended to be shipped with PIII's as well as Celeron. Coppermine is a PIII. Yes, i820 would be better for the very high end, but strongly suggest that Coppermine's intended target has not changed that much as far as the i810e is concerned. By what I am reading in the press, the K7 motherboard situation may be more dire than Intel's at the moment. Maybe the i820 will come out before AMD infrastructure can support more than 2 major OEM's. PB

RE:"Yes, there is the Via chipset, but I have a hard time seeing Intel recommending OEMs to use a competing product. Better HOPE Intel's PC133-supporting chipset doesn't have any "bugs"."... The VIA chipset you refer to is buggy. As far as Intels "real" 133 Mhz chipset, when is that supposed to appear? Jim
