The good news is that the supply of Asus K7M boards appears to be getting healthy. I visited several small shops in Atlanta today and most of them had several of the boards in stock. And they are still shipped in a plain white box with a label listing the UPC code, model #, and NO manufacturer name.

Chuck - RE: "Isn't this scary? This is what AMD was depending on to make Q4 happen! I had my concerns about Q4 and this kind of stuff right since I heard rumors couple of months back about FIC picking up a lot of biz for Q4. AMD is pretty fortunate this thing did not bite them (yet?)."

It's not like the board doesn't work or doesn't do the job, it is just extremely picky. When given the proper accessories this board seems to work just fine.

MOTHERBOARD REVIEWS:

AnandTech is an excellent Internet site for motherboard and component reviews. Recent comments on this board have talked about the lousy review given to the FIC motherboard.

This needs to be put in perspective of favorable reviews given to Gigabyte and Microstar boards and glowing review given to the Asus K7-M board.

AnandTech is very enthusiastic about Athlon as a platform.

Best wishes,
Jim
