Elmer, Intel does deserve some criticism, as long as you are not playing the harpy like Pawl I can cut you some slack. Intel pushed the envelope with the release and are also oppressing the mobo makers as well, that will cost them in the long run. Well the Athlon mobos with Intel chipsets will leak out as there is money to be made and boards can be re-branded in a heartbeat and they can stuff the boards here from merchant chipsets, etc. In an automated factory Chinese/USA labor content is small so those extra costs are not that onerous.
