Intel Products NOT what they use to be
1 of 1 found this helpful Intel products at one time use to be rock solid. Built a Pentium 4 with intel's board D915GAG.This machine is still up and running and has been for the last 9 years. I built a game rig which ran me about 6 k .I decided to go with Intel's DX58SO board. Within the first month the board had to be RMA'd due to a failing chip on the board. Got the replacement board and within 6 weeks that board as well had a bad chip. This happened with a total of 6 boards.Yes you read right, 6 boards! Intel even had the nerve to tell me that the reason chip was failing was because I wasn't using the board "properly'. I don't over clock.The boards were all put in by a very reputable pc shop that specializes in building game rigs. Yet 6 boards with every chip failing is due to misuse . I wouldn't suggest this board to anyone unless you are into overpriced fail boards that are good for collecting dust and used as a paper weight!!
