Re: "This latest batch we have is i815 based and they are ok under NT but under Win2K the video has the most horrible quality ( even with the latest Dell/Intel drivers ). I was wondering if you are willing to post this info on the AMD/Intel SI boards" I have an i815 board - and the video quality is SUPERB - at 1280 x1024.

Bill: "Some interesting tidbits from a Dell user who lurks: We 've been buying exclusively Dell system ( workstations and servers ) and until recently they were rock solid. The last year or so they are the crappiest system we've ever seen. We had a batch of i820 based systems that were actually recalled by Dell because they were constantly crashing/freezing even though they were populated with Rambus memory ( no SDRAM ). This latest batch we have is i815 based and they are ok under NT but under Win2K the video has the most horrible quality ( even with the latest Dell/Intel drivers ). I was wondering if you are willing to post this info on the AMD/Intel SI boards. " Probably not an isolated complaint...The Dell/INTC distribution channel's previous posiitoning as "one-stop" channel is currently threatened seriously by AMD's new product intros...Without AMD in their channel, the Dell/INTC "one-stop" image no longer holds water!!!
