Petz, It gets better... zdnet.com Dec 1, 1999 12:11 PM PT BULLETIN: Bug in Intel's Coppermine chips Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC) has acknowledged an errata or bug that causes desktop PCs using its Pentium III chip to not boot every time the power button on the machine is pressed. The errata, which effects only Pentium III "Coppermine" chips shipped since Oct. 25, would cause an end user to have to push the button a second time in order for the PC to boot. No cases, however, have been reported yet by end users, the company says. To limit the affects of the errata, Intel says it has stepped up its testing procedures in order to weed out effected chips. <<<If an end-user should have trouble with a Pentium III PC not booting the first time its power button is pressed, Intel says that customer should seek the assistance of the PC maker the PC was purchased from. -- John G. Spooner, ZDNN"......>>> ---- Again...Intel passes it off on the PC maker.... I bet Mikey D. is thrilled about that! BTW, AMD made a nice jump in the last 10 minutes of trading today... I suppose there is some money waiting to pounce.
