Richard.. I'm not really the one to ask.. I dont know that for certain... but remember.. AMD is not in the chipset making business per se... they only released the AMD-750 chipset as I recall to get things going for the Athlon... the original reference board was called a Fester board.. it was to be used as a guideline for motherboard makers.. but they more or less could do what they wished to modify it.

I would imagine the same thing would apply for the AMD-760.. AMD makes the basic chipset.. the MB manufacturers then can design around that and do as they wish,

If I am off on my presumption.. I am sure someone will correct me.

"..there are no standards established among motherboard manufacturers for the AMD chipset"

Do you hint that, due to standards established and
maintained by Rambus, Intel i840 boards were suffering
from multiple incompatibility issues with PC600 RDRAM,
and certain other RIMM designs (12 chips RIMMs,
or something like that), for about a year?

Just curious...
