Joe - Re: "Now? I don't know. They are all using 815, as far as I can tell. But I recall seeing Intel based systems with PC-133 memory prior to the release of 815, which must have been Via based (not just FSB 133" You are correct in one regards - during the period from late 1999 to May/June 2000, many OEMs used VIA chip sets with Pentiums - but these were targeted at the retail market. The i815 became available to OEMS in May 2000 and hit the streets big time in June 200 - and that has been the main Inel Chip set - largely supplanting VIA's chip sets in the retail market - and of course - the COMMERCIAL market.
