Understandable... though totally 100% contradicts the my experiences with AMD. BUT... I have heard of people with lots of problems... the only unifiying factor was the CHIPSETS of the motherboards. Of course in these cases these were companies building bargain-basement home-PC boxes. For the record, Asus and Soltek are the only motherboards I'll buy. Both run AMD chips flawlessly. :) In fact I've now officially had more bad Intel chips pass through my hands then AMD chips. :) Rick ******************************************************************* Rick's FreeBSD Web page http://heorot.1nova.com/freebsd Ace Logan's Hardware Guide http://www.shatteredcrystal.net/hardware ***FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
