Tony, About 50% of the equipment I've bought from Fry's was DOA. This includes 2 CD-ROM drives and a scanner. The returns line at Fry's is normally half an hour long. The fact that Fry's is selling junk motherboards should not be surprising. I am surprised that you would attribute the problems you were seeing to the CPU, without any further data. Scumbria

<I guess I didn't make it clear enough.> No, everything was perfectly clear. When 13 million of K6 processors were bought, installed, and sold in systems by normally educated boys like Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM, and hundreds of smaller boxmakers, you just have subscribed in your computer ignorance when posting such a nonsence about two processors that cannot boot. You apparently are not sharp enough to recognize that I was clearly sarcastical about Slot-1 "pluggability" of K6. Most of your previous posts show similar pattern - "reliability", "RAS", etc. I am curious as what is your business on this thread if AMD is such a dog and poses no threat whatsoever to Intel due to AMD "inferior process technology"?
