Scot, re:"AMD chipsets" AMD has done a lot of things right. But their idiotic desire not to be in the chipset business makes no sense to me. All the hard work with the processor can be completely wasted with a crappy chipset. The same applied to MB's. Even if they only supply 20-30% of their market at least they ensure a certain quality level and availability. In addition in times of margin pressure they can provide a reasonable combination deal on CPU+MB. This is one reason I am not bullish long term on the company and expect them to screw up at some point. regards, Kash
