dm - <It's very clear that Camino was supposed to replace the current mainstream chipset, the BX. The 810 certainly can't be considered a replacement or successor to the BX, since it is a low-end integrated chipset with no AGP port.> The i810e is intended to be targeted at what Intel calls the mainstream segment, i.e., high volume. As for Camino being mainstream, yes, eventually, but was not intended to be a mainstream board in the near term, and certainly not at release. PB

<The great mystery is how Intel managed to paint themselves into a corner with Camino/Rambus. It wasn't easy - they had to work hard to put themselves in such a bad spot.> I believe the person responsible for this - one Mr. Saini (spelling?)- the head of the chipset division at Folsom - was shipped out to less greener pastures recently. Sources say there will be lot of other people who will be affected by the continuing RDRAM story. If you see an Intel executive leaving in the next few months the odds are he got a "slower". Chuck
