Doug,

<Would you provide more detail on this? I'm not disputing what you say, just looking for more information-->

There were several rumors on this a month or two back and also if you have followed the motherboard availability on AMD site ( www1.amd.com ), you would have noticed that for a long time several motherboards seem to have been stalled at around 900MHz for the new Athlons. Even now, only Biostar, FIC, MSI have AMD qualified A1000 motherboards. Asus, Gigabyte still do not have AMD qualified A1000 motherboards!

This motherboard thing has been a bigger fiasco than most people on this thread realized.

Chuck

Re: "I could believe (given Gateway's issue) that the 750 may be at its limit at 1G, at least in conjunction with the socketed chips, due to their tighter timing demands"

Why would 1GHz TBirds have tighter timing demands when they run the same bus/port protocol as all other Athlons? Aside from power requirements I don't see how it matters what frequency the processor runs at, it still looks the same to the MB.
