Dan3,

"it simply doesn't make sense for anyone to buy a P4"

Is the chassis still bolted to the P4 to keep the P4 from melting?

Re: "So they've actually seen P4 systems destroyed the moment they are turned on when using a number of widely available graphics cards"

The AMDroid SpinMeister !!

The only graphics boards on which we have seen a problem with i845 and i850 motherboards are some old SIS based graphic cards, on which the Vref generation signal for 1.5 volt was not properly implemented

Re: "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. "
