We have a bug in the timer code which some of these Athlon boards trigger. If you're affected, you'll get thousands of "microuptime went backwards" messages. The workaround is to disable APM. Apart from that, I don't think there's any particular problem with the board. I'm running an Athlon, and I'm happy with it. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
