I'm praying that Apple remain the Motherboard designers and or

Would that be like the iMac G5 design which has, er, reported "issues"?
Well, I guess I should qualify that by saying the boards have no issues
that the end user can do anything about anyway ;)
What I really mean is that there is no BIOS to be fiddled/f*cked with
and the dredded "PCI Shuffle" as I call it when cards need to be
shuffled to work together, is mostly non-existant.
Not to mention unfinished chip drivers that need updating later when
they are 'more' finished.
I agree though that they need to iron out their MB bugs much more
thoroughly.
No one has suggested that Apple may be trying to improve supply through
this.
When new Apple products are released the gnashing of teeth over
non-supply is loud.
Am I right that some of the blame for this has been with the chip supplier?
Interesting times...
