Cirruslvr, <Also could be that AMD is helping to get rid of the older motherboards since the Via ones are coming out real soon. Once the Via MBs come out, resellers will have a tougher time selling the old versions.> I think we discussed this a few days back. Someone posted about 750MHz capable motherboards and FIC wasn't one of them (it wasn't expected to be since they couldn't even get 700 to work on theirs so far). Nonetheless, Athlon motherboards with PC100 support (especially the ones that don't even do 700MHz) will become obsolete rapidly. Now, you are wondering if AMD is helping them out. I guess that is possible. Let's see. <Did you see the processor availability at the bottom of the page? I wonder how often they update that.> This is the first time I saw it. May be someone else who has seen it before can tell if they update it often. Chuck
