Re: graphics boards on which we have seen a problem with i845 and i850 motherboards are... So they've actually seen P4 systems destroyed the moment they are turned on when using a number of widely available graphics cards. Whereas, anyone who's ever attached an AMD heatsink clip knows that that they only go on one way, they require a lot of force to clip on, but once on, they never fall off. Meanwhile, Intel has a real problem with P4 and various video cards. Add to that the extremely weak performance of P4 relative to Athlon, and it simply doesn't make sense for anyone to buy a P4.
