I have an 815 test machine on my desk with a 733MHz CPU. IT WORKS.

The built in video of the chipset actually supports every OpenGL function there is...My GeForce can't even say that. It's not very fast though, Q3 640-480 gives 40FPS Timedemo demo001, in default settings from installation. Not too bad considering it's built into the actual chipset, and it has an additional AGP port to put a good card in.

The sound is OK, onboard AC97 codec and all.
The memory thruoughput is not as good as a BX chipset. At 133MHz FSB, the sdram is still operating at only 100MHz.

So, it's ok, not a screamer, but very good for grandma, because it's super simple to make a computer with one. No other cards are needed to make a complete system ( except maybe a modem or NIC )

BBA what do you mean the memory only runs at 100mhz. I thought the 815 was to have true 133mhz support.

thanks for the replies just planning a future upgrade and looking at where to go.

The 815 chipset does support 133Mhz memory!

IWill has a 370 mobo with the I815 but it also has onboard IDE RAID ATA33/66/100 evrery thing board in fact i think you have a coffe pot hook up.
