Sorry about the confusion I caused. I meant that I am NOT going to use
Intel MBs any more. I will stay with AMD type boards or MB's made by
other than Intel.

Glad I have been using the ones you state are good, even tho I am at
present using a D-Link router and Linksys card. I agree with the
LinkSys cards AND the LInkSys routers as well. However, Belkin routers
and cards seem to be a bit better.
