Apparently there will be a FIC SD-13 4 layer Athlon motherboard announced at Comdex. This should lower Athlon motherboard prices.

As it stands Intels lawsuit against VIA appears bogus at best...It reeks lack of due process, IMHO. If Intel was serious they would. 1. Sue VIA 2. Sue any motherboard maker that uses it. 3. Block entry of these boards into the US. 4. Sue any boxmaker that uses one of these motherboards. Of course this means sueing some of their own customers. Various motherboard makers, boxmakers like Micron or IBM. If they selectively sue then it loses much of it's punch.. Just an opinion.
