Hi Steve Lee; Re: "Do you have a theory on why Intel is not phasing out its 820 chipset before the 815? Or on why the 815 is now more expensive than the 820?" I don't have any information as to when Intel is phasing out the 820 or the 815. As to which is more expensive in the near future, it is hard to say. This is what TheRegister says: Intel discombobulates its customers By: Mike Magee Posted: 19/12/2000 at 09:47 GMT ... On the 31st December, the 860 will cost $84, the 850 $56.50, the 840-DP $51, the 820E $44, the 815 $31.50, the 815E $36.50, the 815EP (hello new friend) at $34.50, and the 810E2 $33. On 31 March next year, if Intel's plans go right, the 860 will cost $82, the 850 $53, the 840-DP $50, the 820E $31, the 815 $31.50 (farewell old friend), the 815E $34.50, the 815EP $32.50 and the 810E2 $31. ... theregister.co.uk So the pricing for the 815 appears to be lower or equal to the 820 pricing. While the 815 disappears in March, I believe that the 820 has already disappeared. In both cases, the chips are being replaced by the "E" versions. Probably the thing to remember when looking at Intel chipset roadmaps is that Intel no longer makes the vast majority of the chipsets used with their processors. If you want to see what is going on, take a look at VIA's plans, they're the ones who've been gaining market share in chipsets. -- Carl
