Ali, Re:the MSI Athlon board, Well it looks like one of Tom's Three Musketeers, the MS 6167 has some stability problems according to:

ixbt-labs.com

"MSI to call back their Athlon boards - 07:43 Posted by Alecs
According to the source MSI call's back their MS-6167 board shipped to some markets due to board and AGP slot stability problems. The source reported that this first revision of the board would be replaced by the new one in the middle of September."

By the way, wasn't the MS 6167 Tom"s favorite! I think he said something like "I personally like the MSI 6167 best, but that's only because I'm not afraid of fiddly BIOS-settings" and speaking about all the Three Musketeers he said "that all the motherboards in this test scored well and that none of it showed any kind of unpleasant behavior." Hmm!

Re: This is wrong. Every Athlon board supports UDMA-66

It was just a cut and paste from the link - I hope the rest of his info was OK
