I agree with you on this IA, the article and the tests certainly showed some problems with the chipset & design. If a board won't work properly with all 3 dimms filled, why have em? Of course, this isn't the only mobo that won't work right with everything filled up.

There was so much hype about the Crush chipset peeps put off buying until they came to market. But with all the initial delays and now that the chipset/mobo design flaws are showing up it doesn't look good in the near term.

With DDR333 chipsets of SiS745, ALi MagiK C, and ViaKT333 all slated to be in mass production soon (Via may be a little later)...i'm looking more toward those solutions.

Besides, a highly integrated chips typically doesn't Overclock well due to increased complexity as witnessed by the inital overlclocking results on the nForce. Just a thought...

Damn, does that mean I have to buy 2 new 20GB HDs for my new MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU's RAID 1?
