1) I have to say that some of the biggest vendors in Israel are selling junk motherboards with their AMD servers, We have here a dual Athlon MP server, which had many problems, and it turned out to be the fault of the BETA-BIOS firmware!!!
Who in a sane mind would sell a mobo with BETA bios? Anyway - I must say I am very happy with the performance since the bios update. 2) regarding overheating - my AMD cpu's usually run even cooler than the Intel equivalent, BUT - never remove a heatsink from an AMD... the sysadmin here removed one for about 3 seconds, and the cpu core blew up (white smoke and cracking noise) - this was with an Athlon-XP+2000 >From my experience an Intel would just shut-down... anyone know if this is a >motherboard feature or a CPU feature?!
