Dan, <MSI's distributer replied that Intel had told MSI "if they sell too many Athlon motherboards, they won't get as many intel chipsets" (which are on allocation).> Pardon me for reacting predictably, but I think that's a rather convenient excuse for MSI. Blame their motherboard troubles on Intel! Surely it can't be MSI's fault for underestimating AMD's ability to produce Athlons, even though AMD did have a history of manufacturing screw-ups. "Yeah, we knew all along that AMD would be able to supply the Athlons for our motherboards! We would have liked to meet their needs, but big bad Intel came along and blatantly told us not to! Poor us! Where's the DOJ/FTC/UN when we need them?" Maybe MSI would also like to blame the Taiwan earthquake on an Intel conspiracy to try and disrupt the supply of Athlon motherboards. After all, isn't it odd that AMD is more dependent on Taiwanese motherboards than Intel? Tenchusatsu
