Maybe that's the trick I'm missing then. I'm not familiar enough with AMD to select parts that work that well with each other. I am biased toward the companies that have worked very well for my Intel systems so maybe I need to approach parts selection differently.
And by the time I'm ready to build a new PC, Intel will have their kinks worked out with the new CPU's so I'll probably buy them anyway.
And ATI gives me the same fuss AMD does so again I am biased toward nVidia cards. Guess I just have poor luck with ATI and AMD.
