Re: their motherboard troubles on Intel! What motherboard troubles? Their profits are up 70 something percent, the 6167 is called "rock solid" in several revues, and they are selling plenty of them. The most recent review appeared today: gamersdepot.com But MSI is afraid to print data sheets or mention it on their web site for fear of retribution from Intel. There are sheets from all of their other boards available, and they are promoting all of their other boards on their web site, but not the 6167. What's going on is pretty obvious - they are afraid to mention a well reviewed, very profitable product on their web site or in their advertising materials - in stark contrast to all of their other products.

Ten, re:<Pardon me for reacting predictably, but I think that's a rather convenient excuse for MSI. Blame their motherboard troubles on Intel! Surely it can't be MSI's fault for underestimating AMD's ability to produce Athlons, even though AMD did have a history of manufacturing screw-ups.> In response to: <<MSI's distributer replied that Intel had told MSI "if they sell too many Athlon motherboards, they won't get as many intel chipsets" (which are on allocation) >> If AMD truly made more Athlon's than expected, why wouldn't MSI just say so rather than lie and blame their biggest customer?
