Paul, re Athlon instability, Run a search on the Internet - type in Athlon and incompatability or instability - you'll get a zillion hits. Just look on the mod AMD thread! Tony

"..type in Athlon and incompatability or instability - you'll get a zillion hits." So, your "zillion" is about 2,000? Any P4 Intel's system is totally incompatible with 80% of installed base of AGP cards, so what? Athlon processor is a processor of choice for "computer enthusiasts". Enthusiast usually means a non-professional. They plug the most recent high-speed CPUs into their boards that usually have either power supply peak current problem, or BIOS has no clues about configuration of the new processor, or the board revision was never certified with the new CPU. So what? - Ali
