- Intel MTH SDRAM defect
Some Intel 820 chipset-based motherboards may contain a defective Memory Translator Hub (MTH) that specifically affects SDRAM operation. This defect can cause system noise issues, leading to intermittent resets, reboots, and hangs, and, in extreme cases, data corruption. Unfortunately, there is no known fix for this issue. Users of retro motherboards featuring the Intel 820 chipset and using SDRAM should be aware of potential MTH-related problems when using their systems.
- Recalled Product
This hardware component was recalled from the market because of certain reasons like defects (including major breaking ones), overheating, fire, or safety hazards. Users of said hardware component should take precaution while using it or even avoid using it altogether.
Always look the hardware compoment's page for more info about it.
Avoid using SDRAM in this board due to the problematic Intel MTH chip, use RDRAM instead.
