Paul, thread, get this, on the AMD 760 chipset problem/no problem, and who knows if this report is right or wrong: 760 Delay=No; 760 Glitch=... After discussing the matter with a trusted source, we've discovered that a glitch has indeed been found with the current version of the chip (B2), but a fix has already been implemented by AMD. According to our source, under certain conditions the 761 Northbridge will generate a clock glitch into the CPU that may cause the system to hang. To resolve this, motherboard manufacturers will have to integrate an external circuit to filter out the glitch. If that could possibly be the case, that workaround is one of the oldest and worst bandaids in the annals of electronics: hang a capacitor on it! firingsquad.gamers.com Tony
