*Official* K7 motherboard support

FIC, Asus confirm K7 mobo support

Motherboard manufacturers FIC and Asus have officially confirmed they have pinned their flags to the K7 mast and have motherboards for the microprocessor.

Although AMD has insisted that no-one publicly shows the K7 at Computex, representatives at both companies confirmed they were showing their motherboards in suites at the Grand Hyatt.

FIC's motherboard uses the AMD/DEC Irongate chipset, while Asus's board is using the Via chipset, representatives from the two companies said.

Asus said that chipset support for the K7 was quite limited at present but would increase as the year draws on. ®

Paul, does this make you feel better? It does me. ;)

This Asus support confirms what JC has on his page (but not the Intel part).

Re: "Elmer, Gary -- seems like cash-backed puts should be legal in an IRA account but they're not. "

Someone has given you bad information. I have put writing privileges in my IRA at Schwab, although it wasn't easy to get. I do have to have the cash to back them because no margin is allowed in IRA's, according to Schwab. I write puts in my IRA most every month.
