Re: known to be temperamental and unreliable There was nothing but trouble with the last generation of Intel platforms - the 820 / 840 / MTH designs. Intel had to bail completely on its own designs for multiprocessor systems - though they were able to buy some companies that were capable of designing such product, and now offer them as their own. AMD's products are very, very good - better than Intel's, in my experience. It could be that this is mostly because I've moved to mostly AMD systems, lately, and that newer systems from Intel have gotten better. But the crap you and Elmer and Paul keep desperately trying to push is despicable nonsense. You guys dream of a communist system for computers, where the Intel commissariat of systems grudgingly releases what it wants, when it wants to an unquestioning proletariat. As long as AMD is around, it won't happen. Intel's combination of threats and bribes has blocked buyers in many markets from access to free choice in computer systems, but not in all markets. Maybe some day we'll all have to line up for Intel's stale bread style of computing, but, until then, we'll have a fast moving free market of great systems at less than outrageous prices.
