Do you remember the recall about the Intel 820 (and possibly the 820E and 840) chipset with the MTH (adapts SDRAM to a Rambus system) bug 10 years ago?

I have an Asus P3C-LS board that uses RDRAM and came with the adapter to use SDRAM. I never used the adapter. Are you telling me there was a problem with these?

Re: Cougar Point (6 Series) chipset recall

yep... too much noise in the signals.
those adapters or boards with the MTH are VERY rare nowadays because of the recall..

Intel has identified system noise issues with the MTH that can cause some systems to intermittently reset, reboot and/or hang. In addition, the noise issue can, under extreme conditions, potentially cause data corruption. In some instances the company has been able to induce data corruption under synthetic stress testing in its laboratories.

The B3 revision of the P67 chipset has resolved the issue in the OP. AMD are making a killing over it though.
