Joe - Re: "One thing I was wondering, that you may have the answer for is the performance of 810e chipset. Since these systems are for business, the 3d speed is irrelevant (though 4MB of memory is troubling). How does the chipset perform compared to BX or VIA on non-graphics related benchmarks?"

I think this Benchmark test by Anand should answer your questions quite completely:

Check it out and let me know what you conclude.

RE:"You know I don't like the high end. I will probably go with Coppermine 500 to 600 systems, with BX chipset, and PC-100. And if I buy the whole systems (as opposed to building them myself), I have to wait until you can get systems with Windows 2000 preloaded"...

Why would you get the inferior Coppermine when you can get an Athlon for the same or less?
Don't worry about systems with Windows 2000, they are shipping as we speak....
