Joe - RE: "I guess it would hold some water if single Athlon worked in Alpha board." You just cleared up lots of confusion on the thread. Since we don't know of any Athlons working in Alpha boards, it MUST mean that ALL Athlons are defective in uniprocessor configurations, right? I mean, this IS the logic we are reading about. So that means ALL Athlons based systems are defective, oui? Does this also mean that until Athlons work in Alpha boards, ALL Athlon core products will be forever defective? ;)

Re: "I guess it would hold some water if single Athlon worked in Alpha board" Why would anyone put a single Athlon in an Alpha board when there are plenty of single processor Athlon boards at a much cheaper price? Nobody's done it because there's no reason to. Now dual Athlons is another story. There's every reason to do it yet no one has. Everyone pooh poohs the idea but nobody offers any explanation as to why it wouldn't work. Par for this thread. You don't like the message so you attack the messenger. EP E
