From the well know tome: Dan3, "How to Spin for the Complete Amatuer"

"since the Iwill board that uses ALi's chipset not only runs fine at 133DDR, but was stable when the bus was overclocked to 143DDR (286MHZ data rate) by 3rd party reviewers."

You mean this reviewer? It may be "stable" but it won't compare well to a 286, don't you agree?

There is enough that speaks against Pentium 4 for people who are reasonable. Once again I have to express my feel about Pentium 4 as some kind of life-style symbol rather than a must-have. However, AMD has started to run into trouble as well. While I am being bold enough supplying you with benchmark data of Athlon 1200/133 on an AMD760-platform, you are utterly unable to get your hands on one. It is currently unknown how long it will take until AMD760 motherboards will become available and the alternative ALi Magik1 platforms have so far shown significant lower performance than AMD760.

There is a bus on the motherboard between them, and that is supposed to be the problem.

2 questions then:

1. Is there someone else's silicon between the 760 and the Athlon?

2. Is AMD doing a fix or not? First they denied it "was their problem." Now Tom says they are fixing it.
