Yes, its the 2700 series. "Internet" thought is that sales were 
disappointing and Intel needed room in its product line to introduce new 
technology like the 2800. (I fail to understand what "room in its 
product line really means", which makes it sound like a problem on the 
sales end; I suspect it's more a matter of retooling production facilities.)

This rapid introduction of new boards feels like a "Whack a Mole" game.
