Goutama Thanks for the updates re mbs and chipsets......I have no problem with mbs manufacturing being farmed out and chipsets manu. done in house. For Kash and I, the issue is one of emotional perception....I feel Kash is hypercritical and will cast many situations in a very harsh, unnecessarily harsh BTW, light. I am sure Kash probably feels the reverse about me whatever that is. In any case your updates would indicate that whatever problems AMD has experienced it seems to be working thru them which I am sure pleases Kash as much as it does me. Thanks again. ted
