intel 810 chipset WAS amazing

[mattsprattuk]

has anyone had such a good experience with these as i have?
up until recently i had the following:

intel celeron 333mhz
128mb sdram pc133
10gb harddrive
onboard intel 810 chipset with 4mb ram

now this intel 810 amazed me... i could run return to castle wolfenstein, call of duty and unreal tournament 2003 on this thing. now considering this is a 4mb card, i was amazed! am i the only one that thinks this GPU should have been upgraded and improved on?

810 is the motherboard chipset, not the type of onboard video. And im guessing the settings were on lowest possible, but were you actually able to play the game?

the 810 was the chipset, but also the onboard graphics... the games were playable however, i had about 15fps

i'm suprised that any games that were made beyond 2000 were compatible with your system. nice

even though it fell waaaayyy below minimum system requirements, it still seemed to run them!
up until hardware transform and lighting came about, every game i tried ran on that onboard graphics card, there were some graphical anomalies, but it still ran! intel should make a modern one of these...

I had an AMD Athlon 898Mhz that I used long after it's time. Given, it was pared with a GeForce 6600LE, but for such an old processor I was very impressed with it's performance. It worked just as good as my friends that had Intel processors with 2+ Ghz.
