LOL! Paul's favorite is now: The Register!

That story was refuted weeks ago. There was a grain of truth to it - the first shipped stepping of the chipset required a moderate sized heat sink not needed with the currently shipping chips.

Hey, should I start reposting stories from earlier in the year about all the P3, 820, and 840 recalls and imply that the problems are present in every currently shipping part?

:-) :-) :-)

Can't stop grinning - I just read the P4 review at Anandtech. Here are his closing words:

For today's buyer, the Pentium 4 simply doesn't make sense. It's slower than the competition in just about every area, it's more expensive, it's using an interface that won't be the flagship interface in 6 - 9 months and it requires a considerable investment outside of the price of the CPU itself. Remember that you have to buy a new motherboard, new memory (if you don't get it bundled with a boxed CPU), and a new power supply/case. This is the investment that must be made in order to have a CPU that can't outperform any of today's top performers with the promise that tomorrow's Pentium 4 will be better.
