Re: "Apparently you can fry an i845 MB by just plugging in certain video cards. Switch it on and "POOF!" The MB and possibly the video card becomes junk. And this is a reliable Intel MB and chipset? Blowing a MB and Geforce3 GPU is more expensive than losing a P4 any day. This puts to rest any claims of Intel MB reliability."

That's almost as funny as VAN's HEADLINE report from several months ago that AMD's HAMSTER chip had been sampling for several months at that time !

Pete, Do those same video cards kill any other Intel or AMD mobos?
If they only kill Intel i845, that will soon make huge waves.
