Re: Did the Athlon MP (2001)

There were no problems. We have a bunch of systems using this chipset, and they are the most stable that we've ever seen.

One guy on one website has a problem with an add in card and you turn it into a crusade. Try plugging any one of a number of older AGP cards into any P4 motherboard using an Intel chipset and you stand a good chance of destroying the system - and that's in all the currently shipping Intel platforms for P4.

Intel had to destroy hundreds of thousands to millions of motherboards due to their defective MTH. The thing was basically a bridge, how hard could it have been to design and test? (too hard for Intel, clearly) Intel kept shipping Itanium systems through Dell and HP while Compaq was telling them that they systems failed tests.

You guys should stop whining about AMD and start worrying about Intel's myriad quality and stability failures.
