Intel Motherboard recall

[phitsy]

Hi.&nbsp;&nbsp;Has anyone heard about this:<br><br>The problem is with something called a Memory Translator Hub (MTH) on the new Pentium III's (shipped after November 1999).<br>&nbsp;<br>Basically, you may have a defective MTH if you have a Pentium III with an Intel 820 chipset, a 133-MHz bus and a clock speed of 533 MHz or greater.<br>&nbsp;<br>There is also a utility on the Intel website you can download to check if your computer jas a MTH - <br><br>Please let me know if there is a site I can go to to download the fix for this problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks

yea it was a really big thing, check out tomshardware.com he wrote a huge article about the deal that Intel cant wise up, and leave RDram. and there are no 'Software' fixes, you will have to get RDram, or go with a board that only supports SDram <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

The big problem is with Intel 820 chipset based boards that will accept standard SDRAM. The 820 set natively supports Rambus only, requiring the MTH to speak to SDRAM. The 820 will support 100mhz CPUs as well, so I don't think the over 533 speed applies.<br>Ironically, I have 2 Intel CC820 mobos (most notorious for this problem)that work just fine. <br><br>
