Paul: Good point..instead, he could be doing a daily re-flash of his VIA Bios to fix a crashing AMD AthWiper machine. That's more fun than running a stable computer - eh? Too bad no amount of BIOS flashing (or any other kind of flashing, including large amounts of cash) will make a P4 board run with a non-bus-mastering PCI board, eh? ;-) How's that for stability&#133 -fyo

Too bad you didn't read Win Smith's comments - even the part you quoted!!! Since when does AMD use socket 423??? Let me quote the relevant bit from the article, since you are obviously too busy posting garbage to do it yourself: I had planned to build a system around a low-cost, high-value processor from AMD, but competitor Intel's price cuts and performance increases, combined with my desire to avoid surprises, led me to match a Pentium 4 with a stock Intel motherboard. Many home-builders prefer higher-end motherboards that allow "overclocking" the processor to run faster than designed, but I figured I was already in enough danger of frying the computer. -fyo
