wanna_bmw re: You might believe that VIA is safe as far as the licensing is concerned I made no such claim. VIA seems to think that they have the right and intel does not. I do not have enough info nor legal knowledge to make that type of determination. re: I assume that if motherboard manufacturers intentionally make use of a product that they know was constructed without legal permission, I am no legal expert but you just killed the concept of innocence until proven guilty :-)) re: than they can in fact be held liable. for what? using commercially available product? In case of the wrong doing the only party that maybe at fault is VIA re: has intentionally shipped the motherboards with the illegal chips aboard well, I am sorry but you seems to think that Intel is equivalent to the world supreme court. Their interpretation of the law is final. re: until the legal battle is settled the battle is between via and intel and if intel is threatening via customers I think intel should be legally responsible not only for losses but also for all the punitive damages that can be brought up against intel. Come to think of it intel should be ligally liable for threatening via customers regardless if via is wrong or right intel is not above the law Regards -Albert
