Re: "No argument here. AMD hoped to ship an SMP chipset by now but hasn't. I don't think anyone expected that to be a big part of their business for awhile (upper end server buyers are very conservative - look at SUN's continuing dominance) but it is important to get started. Every journey begins etc." Dan my point was that Athlon is SMP defective or it would be working with Alpha MPU boards right now like we were promised. It's not just a chipset thing. Athlon is defective. Re: "And while it's true that Intel has never shipped a chipset that wasn't SMP capable, lately it seems they haven't shipped any motherboards that aren't data corruption capable, either. Maybe the 815 will turn the corner for them" I'm aware of the problems with the MTH more than you can imagine but I think you are exaggerating a little here. Millions or 440BX boards still ship. EP
