Tench, re: <By the way, I was pleasantly surprised with how well the CC820 motherboard was keeping up with the competition, even though it supports PC100 SDRAM through the infamous MRH-S component. It fell behind the VIA chipset w/ PC133 SDRAM, but only by the slightest of margins.> Which raises a number of questions. Will Intel and/or it's customers be showing the CC820 at Comdex? What's the mix between VC and CC820? Comparable costs with equivalent memory? When will the CC820 support PC133? TIA

Tenchusatsu: I still like sharkey's photoshop demo where 820 was 80 sec and Athlon was 120 sec. Gamestop found no difference in ATA/66 performance. That was a little hard to believe. They must be working with early version VC820 board. I am sure Intel reworked performance to a large degree in last two months. I am going to continue to insist that Intel, OEM's and especially retail computer chains will be forced to blow out sub 600 MHz computers as soon as consumers learn of 20-40% speed differences in 820 and 840 based systems running on CUMine chips and Intel will have another price cut before year end. As the register refers to "the gulag" for Intel old chips, I think the 533B MHz PIII and the rest of the non CUMine chips will be there within 6 months especially if AMD ramps up production of 700 mHz Athlon. I am sure a Celeron at 500 MHz with a CPUmark of 36.4 with 810 chipset will be at $70 price point soon while 533B with a CPUmark of 39 with 810e chipset will be at least $200 higher retail will have no takers unless there is price cut. john
