While true, consider also that many of the "third-party motherboards" built by the likes of Dell, HP, and other big PC makers are often just Intel reference designs with a few tweaks. It's getting harder to tell the chipset apart from the motherboard these days. So just because Intel is shipping more chips than boards doesn't mean they're disconnected from the process once the truck leaves the dock. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
