No. But in a relatively recent span of time, the following things happened: 1) AMD announced a new chipset 2) SiS announced their first time support, we got our first review of the chipset this week and it is at least decent from a performance/stability standpoint. 3) ALi announced their first time support, we got our first review of the chipset this week and it is at least decent from a performance/stability standpoint. 4) Duron got integrated chipset support from VIA (finally!) 5) Micron released details on their Athlon chipset plans for 2001. 6) API was announced to be readying a dual chipset in early 2001. 7) nVidia's chipsets is reportedly planned to visit the AMD platforms before the Intel platforms. I'd say that's a lot better infrastructure story than the previous state, which was 1) AMD has a chipset which they're phasing out 2) VIA is making barely compatible chipsets and is advancing their Intel platforms before anything else.     -JC
