Joe, <810 chipset was disliked from the beginning> By who? The overclocking hardware sites who think anything less than 100 FPS is uncivilized? FWIW, OEMs love the 810 because of two reasons: 1) Low cost of system thanks to integration 2) Stability of hardware and drivers (much better than going with bargain-basement components for the low-end) Sure, using 810 is unthinkable for any market that desires performance. But it seems there's a huge crowd of people who just want PCs to surf the Internet and play an occasional game or two. The 810 chipset fits this bill nicely. Maybe you were talking about the lack of successors to the 440BX as a mainstream chipset, which I can understand. Tenchusatsu
