RE:"4) The AOpen rep said that rumor had it Dell had made 20,000 i820 based systems, and other OEMs also had large amounts when the plug was pulled - and Intel will not reimburse anyone. They were lucky, he said, because they were just about to start production of 1000 i820 boards when the earthquake hit. Other manufacturers had already started production, and now they are sitting on worthless junk...!!!" I'll bet Mikey Dell really appreciates that! LOL. AND GATEWAY WAS SNOOKERED INTO GREAT CHIP DEAL WITH INTEL and dropped AMD...what a bunch of fools. These motherboard makers should be working around the clock to get out Athlon boards. The ones that do it will definitely gain more of a foothold in the motherboard market. Time for a new motherboard company to emerge.
