Orion, When Micron first started evaluating the systems, the first AMD-760 boards used in the Millennia XP were essentially samples cobbled together by hand, the spokesman said. But when Micron started ramping volume shipments, the company found that the boards were unable to meet the noise tolerances required by the faster 266-MHz front-side bus speed used by the AMD-760 chipset. Additional hardware filters were required, and a new six-layer motherboard with improved tolerances was approved Tuesday. Sure sounds like there's a "told you so" for someone in this paragraph. <G> Dave
