Re: problem in finding motherboards .... AMD caught those long before more than a handful had made it to market. If you want to discuss ancient history, how about the FDIV error that the Pentium had? How many people got screwed by those bad parts Intel shipped to endusers? Intel never did find out that their processors were no good, it was the victims (customers of Intel) who were getting wrong answers from their machines and started complaining. Too bad pentium couldn't handle arithmetic, too bad Intel had to spend $400 million replacing defective parts it had shipped. The motherboards were from MSI, the pentiums were from Intel. AMD didn't sell millions of defective parts to endusers, Intel did. Intel was noble about fixing its mistakes, AMD has been noble about fixing an orders of magnitude smaller error of a third party. Maybe it's time you gave the motherboard thing a rest. Dan
