Ali V Ali chipsets are superiour anyway. Shame only high-end and expansive motherboard makers as "I-will" have implemented the ali chipset . But soon Asus will go into super7 battle with their mobo's with Ali chips. And i don't doubt that Abit will to. Anyone heard something from the AMD-640 chipsets ? Or its succesors ?

Re: "VIA has a new revision of their 100MHZ MPV3 chipset code name "CE". This eliminates the problem with video cards that use the Intel i740 video chip. Apparently Intel designed the i740 so it wouldn't run right unless it sees the right tight specs of an Intel chipset. Probably a dirty trick but VIA has compensated. I don't believe mobos that use the Ali Alladin V chipset have this problem." Yes Jim, that sure sounds like a dirty trick to me too. Imaging the gall of Intel, actually meeting the AGP specifications. How low can they go? We should all rise up and demand that Intel start shipping out of spec parts. EP
