Re: "I'll keep an open mind - perhaps the distributor who talked to my VAR didn't know the facts. How do you explain the behavior of the motherboard companies if it isn't due to threats from Intel?" Dan, you're probably a nice fellow but in my opinion, your conspiracy theories are far fetched and border on the irrational. You are convinced on the poorest of evidence, if you can even call it evidence, and leap to unwarranted conclusions with the slightest encouragement. There is no "evidence" save rumors from some guy who heard someone else say that Intel told someone else that they better not do anything to piss off Intel ...or... ...else! Or some website which claims they heard something from someone else through a friend who knows this guy who claims that he was told from a reliable source that they heard that someone claimed that Intel was telling someone that they better not make any MBs for AMD or they will stop selling them chipsets that are on allocation anyway. This nonsense is not worth believing. EP
