The Pentium III 1,13GHz is the worthy successor of the Pentium III 1GHz. It offers users an unrivalled level of power that meets today's applications and games’ needs, for a reasonable price. Rock solid, the Tualatin unleashes its full potential when being teamed with the i815 stepping B chipset. Even if the Tualatin is the latest Pentium III's descendant, it offers strong advantages like SSE instructions, FullSpeed Cache, 133MHz FSB, ensuring users will enjoy the most advanced computing experience. If the Tualatin is obviously less powerful than the latest Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon processors, it remains an affordable long lasting investment for those of you who are demanding users, not yet ready, to jump on the Pentium 4 and want to save themselves from unreliable VIA platforms. One drawback, however, is that in the future this platform is condemned since it won’t support any other new upcoming processors.

   The Intel D815EEA2 motherboard is clearly a solid, reliable, platform packed with powerful various integrated features that'll help system integrators build low cost, top notch, computers. The SoundMax Audio circuit delivers a state of the art kick-ass sound while the 4 USB ports ensure you'll never be out of USB bandwidth again. The only drawback of the Intel D815EEA2 motherboard, is the integrated graphics circuit that is clearly too weak (its 3D performances are really ridiculous). Despite the few disadvantages enumerated above, this Intel platform is the best choice for those of you that want a trouble-less, strong PC.
