Ummmmm, Dan, you do know that the Thunder board uses the AMD766 Southbridge and not the Via 686B Southbridge, right? What on earth does this update have to do with the current issue of stability in the the Thunder? The posting at Ace's (which I frequent often) was to quiet those who were hoping for a cheaper board for the Athlon MP based on the AMD762 Northbridge and Via 686B Southbridge. It has NOTHING to do with the current problems the Thunder seems to have at the moment.
