Felix, PC chips had a very bad rep in the industry for their socket 7 boards. They would buy up bad chipsets with the name sanded off by the chipset maker and sell them into the home market. They would know all about the problems of the chipset which could be modem problems, network card problems and sell their mobos in a workable configuration, but try to add an ATI video card, or a network card and they fail. They were notorious for this. Cheap mobos though. Ali can probably agree with me here. Suffice it to say that AMD and Intel CPUs would fail on these mobos. Bill
