Wrong again.

Wota pity your original claim that you mangled so comprehensively
was a general one, not specific to one chipset.

Squirm, squirm, squirm, squirm, fooling absolutely no one at all, just
like your previous complete and utter bullshit on a warranty claim
with a hard drive when the retailer had gone bust never did either.

> It is actually very relevant as it is his chipset.

Soorree, the specifics that quote comments on aint chipset specific.

Pity those specifics quoted dont apply to all motherboards
using that chipset. Keep desperately digging.

Wota wanka.
