James Yu: <Geniue Intel PC motherboards> I am afraid that Paul is correct on this subject. Intel makes a lot of boards. Look, for example, at Computer Shopper rewiew: www8.zdnet.com seven out of 13 are using "geniue Intel" inside. These guys (Dell, Micron, Zenith) do not care about price and sells to people who do not care either. All the Intel motherboars are known as the slowest on the market, but who cares again. The place of manufacturing does not matter here. They also look as engineering samples revision 0.9, so they are not cleaned for production, and usually twice as expensive. I think the reason why these big guys are using these boards is simple: these platform reference boards are obviously the first to arrive, so they can make a bit more profit from earlier introduction of their end product. With other "special" preferential customer treatments, Intel does not lose here again, even if it gives these prototype boards away for a nominal bill-of-material cost. Regards, Ali
