Description
Intel CA810e A01986-306 Socket PGA370 Motherboard 810E Chipset Pentium III
The Intel CA810e (part number A01986-306) is a Socket PGA370 desktop system board built around Intel's 810E chipset. It supports the Pentium III and Celeron processor families in the PGA370 (FC-PGA) form factor and integrates several key subsystems directly on-board, reducing the need for add-in cards in a standard desktop build.

Applications
The Intel CA810e dates from the late-1990s/early-2000s era of Intel's 810-series chipset platform, which brought integrated graphics and audio to mainstream desktop PCs at a time when those features typically required separate add-in cards. The 810E variant added support for faster front-side bus speeds, enabling the higher-end Pentium III clock rates. These boards were widely used in corporate desktops, small-form-factor builds, and budget home systems of that generation. Today the CA810e is sought by collectors and hobbyists restoring period-correct Pentium III or late-Celeron systems, as well as users maintaining legacy DOS/Windows 98/Windows 2000 and early Windows XP machines that depend on the integrated SoundBlaster-compatible audio or the ISA-less 810E platform. The integrated Intel 752 graphics (part of the 810E hub) output through the rear VGA port, making the board self-contained for basic display tasks without any AGP card installed.
