I know this board sucks, but it's a hot deal for rdram advocates.
Anyway, I won't buy this.

This one is the best deal, only this one is new retailed box,
another one is new but bulk without manual, driver, rimm continuous module,
the other 2 are refurb.

I am running two of these VC820 boards.... no problems...

I had the CC820s, but Intel recalled them due to problems with the MTH (memory translation hub) that allowed them to use either RDRam or SDRam. As part of the recall program, if you sent your retailer the CC820 and 128MB SDRam module, Intel would replace it with the VC820 and 128MB RDRam. Was a sweet deal!

Anyways, I have no problems with the VC820. Works great for me.
