Wow, I'm suprised to hear that about Intel chipsets.

Yeah, me too. Guess I will do a little more research before my next upgrade."I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned."Comment

Granite Bay may have been hit by AGP issues, but Springdale and Canterwood boards have dual channel compatibility/stability and PAT problems.
Things seem to get solved by bios updates. I think Asus and MSI got their act together by now and Giagbyte's still working on it, having some leaked beta bios files roaming on the net.Comment

This does not sound like INTELOriginally posted by Dr Mordrid
Careful about those Intel chipsets too as they have been producing lemons of late. At the very least the E7205 (Granite Bay) and the E7505 both have a screwed AGP implementation.
Stability can be partially restored by disabling the AGP Prefetch Cache (performance hit?), but another problem is that the bus timing for AGP8x is also off key. This too can be mitigated by down-clocking the AGP to 4x, but again you're not getting what you pay for.
This on the other hand do sound like INTELIntel states in their notice on these that NO fixes are forthcoming for either issue.
Doesn't this sound a lot like the VIA MVP3 problem with the write cache pipeline?
