dumbmoney - <Well, that's clearly not true. It can't be true because if Camino is not the mainstream successor to the BX, what is? It's not the 840, it's not the 810, so it must be the 820 (Camino). QED.> I don't want to argue. We're both right. Yes, IMO the Camino is intended to replace the BX, but Intel also feels that the i810e is a mainstream, i.e., high volume mainstream platform also. That's the whole point of the "e"!!!! <Unless, of course, you want to claim that Intel intentionally planned to NOT have a mainstream chipset ready this year for 133Mhz FSB and AGP 4X (and ATA66 and other misc platform updates). But that would be downright nutty. Nobody plans to fail.> No, Intel certainly did plan to have a 133MHz platform this year, and this is not good news. However, I believe it became apparent that the market would not support Camino being "Mainstream" in the near term. Intel execs have said as much over the last few months. PB
