Bill, re"Are those others left alone because they use Intel CPUs?" Well I don't think it so. The others are left alone so far because they do not publicly support the Athlon. End of story. Going by this: ebnews.com and it is the only hint we have as to what the details may be, iNhEL is after the Apollo Pro, MVP4 chipsets, and the 686 Southbridge. These are the mobos I looked at so far, of mobo manufacturers who are not being attacked by iNhEL yet. (sorry if I may have made any errors) Aopen: Uses the VIA MVP4, Apollo Pro Plus and the Apollo Pro 133 chipsets. ASUS: Uses the Apollo Pro Plus chipset. Tyan: Uses the Apollo Pro 133A chipset and another board uses the 686 Southbridge from a MVP4 combined with a MVP3 Northbridge. SOYO: Apollo Pro chipset ABIT: All Intel chipsets (thought I'd throw it in since I looked at their boards too) Of course these companies are rumored to have Athlon boards coming out, but we will see. ASUS is the first to be rumored to have been pressured without a direct lawsuit because their K7M uses the 686 Southbridge. I think iNhEL is playing with matches. steve
