The inital version of the chipset had its bugs, but they don't seem to be show stopping like Bill Buck seem to make them out to be. We haven't seen A1 owner ranting left and right that their new A1 boards don't work or work as expected. "There is no MAI without April", to me me would imply show stopping faults in the chip. Where were the Pegasos users that should have been ranting about there broken boards?
I'm not saying the the Artica doesn't have it's problems. I just think that Bill Buck is a sensationalist, sort of like a P.T. Barnum.
There is also the fact that the chipset is being used on two differently designed motherboards, which may introduce its own problems on top of any chipset bugs.
Then again didn't Red ask about the A1. Lets get back on topic.
