If I remember correctly the first P-II mobos were FX chipsetted. Then the LX...then BX Anyway, I can see why someone would have at least waited for the LX and bypassed the "beta" FX. Jim

Did you involuntarily decide not to post this part of your link??? - Heck no, if one clicks on the link, that part is right there. "Think back to when the first BX motherboards were released. No one bought one of the first BX boards with the knowledge that a much better board would be out in less than 6 months time at the same or an even lower price." Difference being that there were many other mobos available, which didn't keep processors with wheels spinning but going nowhere (that is if I believe there are that many Athlons, which I wouldn't bet on either). So this will probably happen with Camino, just like it is happening to AMD and has happened to BX. Now that's a leap to a conclusion if I ever saw one. Camino is unique and Dell and Gateway alone will buy them out of the chute as fast as they can get them. Tony
