dEngle, RE:"If you think MotherBoard vendors are having a "wee-bit-of-difficulty" getting ONE AthLATE to work on a motherboard, think of all the fun they are going to have getting 4 or 8 AthLATEs to work on a motherboard !!"... Oh they will get it right. OTOH, if it was Intel bringing the Athlon, there would be plently of available Intel motherboards that worked . Apparently AMD didn't have the resources and had to rely on 3rd party Taiwan mobomakers. Definitely a weak link. Many months ago we were nervous about AMD relying on a Taiwan chipset for the Athlon. They wisely decided to make their own. Never thought the Taiwan companies couldn't make a motherboard right from the start. This company brings new life to Murphys law. Maybe you should sell. Jim
