Re: Another UNSTABLE system! Paul, The most troublesome system we've had in a long time was the last batch of dual processor PIII systems (866mhz - instead of 1GHZ to not push the limits of the .18 PIII) we got in about a year ago. The drivers that shipped with the boards for the on-board RAID (as we found out after weeks of periodic crashes) were flaky. New drivers and a bios upgrade solved the problems, but it was quite ugly for a long time - long enough for people to be quite willing to try something else. So we started ordering dual processor Athlon systems and they've all been rock solid from day one - they are also a little faster than any dual processor Intel based system and cost somewhat less. Do you think the blame for the problems with the PIII systems should go to Intel and be applied to all Intel based systems? Or did the motherboard manufacturer (MSI) that shipped the original driver CD have something to do with it?
