Yousef, don't know if this Anand article about Athlon mobos has made it in here yet: Back from a fun weekend ÿ 09/06 11:35 PM - Anand Lal Shimpi I hope you all had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. I've spent most of tonight working on the Gigabyte and FIC Athlon motherboards and I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that there are no good Athlon motherboards on the market. anandtech.com

yousef, here is something AMD did manage to eek out. "Heerssen is minding the store until James Doran, Fab 30's new general manager, arrives later this year. Doran, who managed Austin's Fab 25, replaced Jack Saltich, who resigned in July to work for another company. Heerssen said he has been impressed by the early tests of Fab 30's precision equipment some of its components are so new that they are in use for the first time. On July 7, the Fab 30 plant successfully created its first copper-based chips, the first to be produced in Europe." Before you go out and line up your usual cast of naysayers to make it not so. Please be kind enought to give us an update on Intels Copper process progress. I guess this article also makes Paul look like a fool for his negative commenting about mot/amd copper progress not being there. Also if you did not catch it Steve Jobs came out and said G4 smokes pentiumIII is he also wrong?
