You know, Ihave come to the conclusion that regardless of whether the problem comes from the processor, the mother boards chipset, hardware or software incompatibility, amd systems are nothing but trouble. Tell me if I am wrong, but I looked into the Intel forum last night. There are so few posts it isn't funny. That's because Intel systems work. I now have two AMD systems. Both built with quality components. All of which have been swapped out. Everybody here espouses the stability of the AMD systems while telling you all the "special" things you have to do to get them to work. My MP3 server with the KT7A Raid board isbeing replaced tonight by a BE6-2 Raid and a PIII 500 I have in my closet. My wifes system(the AOpen AK33 with a 900 TBird will be replaced by a CUSL-2C with a PIII 1 gig this weekend. Anyone want to make me an offer of these two boards and chips. I'll never do AMD again.
