Re: similar to blaming AMD just because someone built a system without an "AMD-approved" power supply I don't start these, I post the information in response to Paul, Tony, Elmer, or you posting BS FUD about AMD being any less robust or reliable than INTC. Intel has as many or more "concerns" as AMD does. You guys stop posting and I'll stop posting. Next time I make a reference to one of Intel's issues, check the link I'm responding to. And this issue for Intel is a real one. Brand new expensive OEM boxes get the right card. But when the next family PC gets bought, there's a reasonable chance that some parts will get moved around, and a reasonable chance that some of that moving around will include putting the "better" AGP card from the recent P4 box into the new machine, replacing it with the one from the old machine being junked - then ZAP! another P4 system bites the dust. It's a heck of a lot more likely than having a heat sink fall off while a machine is running.
