h0db from YAHOO disagrees with Bilow... Re: h0db... AcesHardware retracts: by: h0db (40/M/Tysons Corner, VA) 02/22/01 11:44 pm EST Msg: 221472 of 221479 the "retraction" is wrong. They are clinging to the idea that the chipset is not "defective". The fact remains that Asus is discontinuing the board. Chris @ AMDZone is about the worst source imaginable--he was fired by Dell, and hates Intel with a passion. LostCircuits is the only source that has contacted Asus. Their clarification can be summarized as follows: "We are not recalling the AMD760 board. It's not defective. And we aren't going to make it any more. You will really like the MAGIK-based board...." The AMD760 works, but like the AMD750, it is expensive to build. MSI, ABIT, and quite a few other motherboard makers are not going to touch the AMD760 because they don't want to make 6 layer boards that cost $185-$200, when AMD is not shipping any volume of 133MHz-FSB Athlons and a KT133A chipset (with SDRAM) erases any theoretical performance advantage. Bottomline: Aces' is wrong. That board is discontinued. You won't even be able to find one in a month.
