(Of course, I warned about that, but someone chose the cheaper model "with 133 MHz bus" -- when it runs at 100 MHz with a PIII 500!). Personally, I decided to boycott the i810 chipset. I am absolutely opposed to chipsets including graphics and audio controllers. And IMHO now Intel Corp. attacks the makers of graphics and audio cards, imposing [even] more restrictions on our freedom of choice in the PC market.
