Elmer, Yes Elmer, I too am curious about this. I am not sure where the bug lies(if it is a bug), because some say a smaller faster capacitor in parallel with the existing one on the MOBOs/cards will fix it? So it may be the mobo/card that is hypersensitive to noise on certain lines? In any event it does not look like a genuine CPU bug(bad code inside etc) it really looks like a card fault and it will be fixed very soon(it has been I see, yet with no changes to the CPU?) So as far as I can see if a fix on the board fixes the bug it is a card/board level circuit bug. If they have to make a change to the chipset or CPU then it is a CPU/chipset bug. Bill
