Craig, I wonder what Jerry Pournelle was buying in almost a year when Intel had no PC-133 support. At that time, the only chip for Intel platform with up-to-date specs was Via Apollo chipset, the same chipset that forms the base of current Athlon chipsets. During this time, Intel lost half of the market share for chipsets, so the only option people had was an obsolete Intel motherboard/chipset or a non-Intel motherboard/chipset. Joe

Craig, RE:"For my money, Intel CPU chips on an Intel motherboard is a hard combination to beat for reliable performance, and ought to be your first consideration when you're designing a system. They cost a bit more, but not excessively so." I guess that guy doesn't use the i820 or i840 with SDRAM. The AMD 750 has worked well and after a revision the Taiwan iterations seem to work well...which leads to one of my main complaints about AMDs infrastructure. Jim
