Performance
All benchmarks were run on an Intel Celeron 300A clocked at 450MHz, the same test system that was used in the AnandTech Pentium III Review.
Conclusion
The Intel 810 chipset is a very well made solution for the highly integrated motherboard, however most of you won't find yourselves losing sleep over a simple 810 board. The real monster is when you combine the new features of the 810 chipset, with the ability to choose your own AGP 4X graphics accelerator. This September, we'll all find out what Intel's upcoming 820 is really about.
In the mean time, the 810 and 810-DC100 should tide the low-cost market over, with the 810-E (133MHz FSB support) on the way as well, it seems like Intel is doing their best to make sure that the competitors leave their Slot-1/Socket-370 babies alone.

It's amusing in retrospect how difficult it was for Intel to obsolete the older BX chipset. One thing people forget is the venerable 440BX was actually the hi-end server chipset - it wasn't intended to be the bread and butter Slot 1 mainstream chipset. But all the mobo makers migrated to BX since the "mainstream" LX, MX, ZX chipsets were just gimped too much.But if you ever wondered why BX had things like support for 1GB (!) of RAM, dual-processor, ACPI, etc that we take for granted now - that's why. It was supposed to be a server chipset ;p
