Cringe-A-Lot - Re: " It isn't AMD's fault Gateway chose such a cheap motherboard to build their systems with. This is obviously Gateway's fault for using a POS motherboard" Sorry, Cringe - that was an APPROVED MOTHERBOARD - APPROVED by AMD. According to Gateway: zdnet.com "The anomaly was tracked to the PCI bus on the motherboard, which is manufactured by Microstar International. It wasn't seen in 100 percent of the machines, so some Gateway Select PCs using K6-2 have shipped. Ritter could not say how many." According to AMD: AMD-K6® Recommended Motherboards amd.com www1.amd.com (Select K6-2/400 and ATX MB) Microstar (MSI) MS-5169 Revision 2.1B & 4.0A are APPROVED motherboards for the K6-2 400 Mhz CPU !!! Well, now - just what kind of TESTING did AMD do on these Microstar Motherboards in order to help along their new favorite customer, Gateway ? Perhaps these will be relabeled K6-2 GateDelay PCs !
