I've had very bad luck with AMD mobos, aand chips as of late
I think I've got 4 dead "sets" now.
Is why I've switch over to intel mostly. At least for the time being.
All the stuff was heavily abused though, so it's really not all AMDs fault,
and it is all older stuff TBirds, and Durons. I haven't had any problems
with the xp line ....yet (knock on wood)
I think the problem with mine was I know one was a bad chip, and messed a mobo up. Then the mobo messed another chip up. Then I had a mem stick
go out (I think) and messed up another "set".
Just bad luck I guess, mostly.
I'll probably come back to AMD shortly though when the XPs get really dirt cheap.
