Re: has an excellent review of Athlon motherboards... I wasn't quite so impressed with the review. He casually trashed the MSI-6167 saying it was not stable, without any description of what led him to that conclusion. We have a number of systems that use that board, and none of them has had any trouble whatsoever. The MSI board is the one that has been run up to 1150MHZ with cooling. Most reviews I've seen have called it a somewhat boring board, with no temp sensors or easy overclocking capability, but they've also called it rock solid stable, ===================================== amdzone.com MS-6167 Review-Chris 'ruiner' Tom 7:46 p.m. CST Dux Computer has reviewed the MSI MS-6167 Athlon board. They comment that the board is very stable, although a bit costly. ====================================== and my personal experience supports that. Dan

James, <This link: ixbt-labs.com has an excellent review of Athlon motherboards. You will see it: -- likes only 1 of the lot -- talks about supply issues -- talks about how INTC uses its monopoly power (if not legal what does AMD do about it?) > Thanks for the link. Yes! AMD's motherboard story was pretty pathetic. Q4 should have been a killer quarter had they executed on the motherboard angle. That said, I expect a slew of PC133 based motherboards using VIA and AMD chipsets in Q1. That should fix the infrastructure side for H1. Chuck
