Steve,

Re:"FIC sd11"

Well thats pretty interesting and very worrying frankly.

Most of the Athlon MB's use the Via Southbridge chip and FIC has been by far the most visible AThlon MB vendor recently.

Hopefully the dumbshits that run AMD will get the message and ramp up AMD's own chipset and MB offerings.

I suspect that Intel is so worried about the AThlon that they will now resort to litigation across the board to scare the daylights out of the Taiwan MB guys.

Even if Intels actions are unwarranted and they lose in the courts these type of actions take months/years to resolve. I hope that AMD has been burning the midnight oil on the MB/Chipset issues - but i remain sceptical.

regards,

Kash Johal
