Really? In my experience, the only motherboards I've had to replace were intel, one just this last week an 845BG thats only 2 1/2 years old. But I also have two Dell Dimension 800's that I use as servers which are up constantly, so I guess my opinion is in the Pentium 4 era quality went down.
You should read the book "The geography of Nowhere" by James Howard Kunstler Amazon Link
Here's a few choice quotes from a chapter entitled "Capitals of Unreality"
The entry procedure approximates the American Protestant concept of going to heaven. One leaves behind the gritty real world and mills around a pleasant and familiar outdoor place of assembly -- strangers all happily anticipating pleasures to come. Finally, there is that glorious moment of passing through the pearly gates! From a child's point of view, the day ahead must seem like eternity.
After waiting in line you are herded into a cable-driven boat -- "Quickly! Quickly!" the attendants cry -- and hauled through a series of darkened chambers where you gawk at animated tableaux.... Because everything is preprogrammed or scripted down to the last detail, there is an inescapable air of mechanized boredom to these goings-on. Even children sense it.
A recurring feature in nearly every attraction is the theme of death and mayhem. At every turn you encounter scenes of it. This is somewhat different from the bodily thrills of speed and motion offered by ordinary amusement park rides.... You turn down the short stretch of Disney's "western" street in Frontierland, and actors dressed as gunman are suddenly plugging each other. You, the passerby, are supposed to be lucky to be there when this is happening. (A hundred years from now do you suppose they will recreate the drive-by shootings of LA gangs for the amusement of children? How about the spectacular fast-food store massacres in recent years?)
So, being the good user that I am, I changed my yahoo account's password on Sunday. Immediately afterward, I could not log into my account, both old and new passwords didn't work. Then I figured I must of mistyped the new password somehow so I went to the password reset feature on their website. Lo and behold, it crashes. Repeatedly. All I get is the nice Yahoo footer telling me they collect personal information.
At this point, I am at step two of the automated e-mail support. In order to reset my password, I have to give them the secret password question, AND answer it correctly, from the secondary e-mail account I gave yahoo when I signed up years ago, which of course I can't remember which one I used.
If they would just give me a 900 number to call to talk to a human, I would do it instead of going through this crap!
It is interesting that a site about going to all corners of the Earth trying to create an "Organized Sampling of the World" is available only in English.

"Intel is not going to redesign the Pentium tomorrow because of it," he said.
Why not? If this works it sounds like Moore's law would continue, and would give whatever company that deployed it first a performance advantage.
Is this really so radical we'll have to wait years to get it on our desks?

Sad to say, yep. And a bbs sometimes too
Installing OpenBSD was one of the most painless installs I have ever experienced
Ever installed DOS?
A much better one would be fuckthesouth.com
If he paid money for the website, he must know what he's talking about, right?
The next step is to call them thieves.
Really? I thought nowadays we just skip ahead to terrorists.
"Padme didn't completely survive force choke by Anakin and dies after giving birth to the twins."
I see to remeber Leia saying in Return of the Jedi that her mother died when she was very young... that she was always sad, something like that.
whoops
What about NVU? It is still in beta, but it already offers enough functionality for basic web sites.
I would appreciate one, kdbcomp@yahoo.com. Thanks a million
