Rick~ Sorry, I didn't know of the Radeon 9700 problems, but I've been burned too often in the past by rushing to judgement on newly released equipment (but no more)! The point I'm trying to make is just good common sense. People tend to allow themselves to get hyped on the latest chipsets rather than wait at least long enough to give the '1st tier' hardware-sites (e.g., AnandTech, TomsHardware, ExtremeTech, etc.) sufficient time to 'shake it and see what crawls out'. For that matter, we often read about users who run into problems that the bench-testers never experienced. But then again, for all I know the board will probably turn out to be a winner!
