re: "Name somebody who is better?"

You may be correct now. My last experience with one of their chipsets was their Atlantis motherboard. It was very vanilla and slow. However, you are correct it was very stable, but, it was slower than anything else that I had contact with at the time.

<All I know is that Intels chipsets are faster and less buggy than those made by Ali, VIA and SIS. At least initially, before revisions.>

And how many revisions will we need before the K7 chipsets are as stable as Xeon and Pentium III chipsets? Remember that AMD is betting the (Dresden) farm on the K7.

(Yeah yeah, problems in Xeon launch, but Intel wasn't betting the farm on Xeon.)
