Elmer: <..2 standards. One for Intel and a second for AMD. Intel gets trashed for bugs and AMD gets excuses.> Yes, and I think this is fair enough. Intel is 40 times bigger than AMD and has 40 times more resources to produce bug-free products. Therefore, AMD can be excused, but Intel has no excuse.

<Why not let AMD investors decide for themselves?> Really, why not? But why you, Elmer Phud, took the sword to protect me, poor informed? You have no source of information other than the same publications. I have read the link you provided, thank you. Now let me judge myself how serious are these "errata". And keep in mind that NONE OF THESE BUGS WERE DISCOVERED by users first time, all of them were detetcted in advance by AMD and now publised for your low mockery.

Any jerk can type four characters and bring a Pentuim system down with F0-bug. As for K6, please try to reproduce any of AMD errata in a business environment, an then we may talk again. Until then you better shut up, the holy truthfinder. The level of noise you &Co raising makes it impossible for AMD investors to get any useful information here.
