I've just posted my complete review of the Intel D810E2CA3 motherboard & Intel Celeron 900MHz. If you want to learn what this highly integrated solution has in the belly, be sure to read the review! Below is a snippet from the review:
During the past few years many things have been done to reduce the computers’ total cost of ownership in realizing Bill Gates’ dream: at least one computer in every household. A major slowdown to this dream has always been the prohibitive prices of most PCs. Aware of this statement, the computer industry made several efforts to render computers more affordable. The most important initiative to remedy this problem was the introduction of mainstream processors intended to decrease the average price of a computer. Intel was the first to introduce a low cost processor in 1998, named ‘Celeron’. First Celeron models weren’t very powerful. Indeed and despite the fact they operated at only 266 & 300MHz with an enormous handicap (no level 2 cache memory), they were instantly a big commercial success for Intel and this for, at least, two reasons: first they were extremely affordable (compared to the Pentium II/III & other competing processors) and secondly they were easily overclockable! Indeed most users were able to overclock their Celeron 300A to 450MHz without any problems.
