The Intel 810E motherboard, released in 1999, was an upgraded model of the Intel 810, designed to better support faster Pentium III processors over slower Celeron processors. This is due primarily to the 810E's ability to support bus speeds of 133 megahertz. The Intel 810E, a Socket 370 ATX motherboard, offered a number of other features, similar to its Intel 810 predecessor.
Expansion Slots
The Intel 810E motherboard provided three PCI expansion slots, used for connecting peripherals such as sound cards, video cards and modems. The motherboard included two 168-pin DIMM slots, used for RAM connections.
Supported Processors
The Intel 810E supported the Intel Pentium III processor, the Celeron processor and the Cyrix III. This motherboard supported 66, 100 and 133 Mhz front-side bus processors. In contrast, the original Intel 810 motherboard could only support 66 and 100 Mhz FSB processors, restricting the chip from using Pentium III processors.
I/O Ports
The Intel 810E had two PS/2 ports, one 9-pin standard serial port, one 15-pin VGA port and one 25-pin standard parallel port. The 810e also had two standard USB ports, one 15-pin game port, as well as mic in, line in, and line out slots.
General Features
The 810e supported up to 512MB of SDRAM. The motherboard came with integrated graphics, allowing the system to operate without the use of an external graphics device. The 810e could also be configured to run in a low-power sleep mode if supported by the operating system.
