Mister Ed - Re: "Quite a bit different than the "AMD has recalled their 1Ghz" tale that you tried to pass on a few weeks ago. "
I was given the SAME INFORMATION that your very own BELOVED DOUG passed on just last week.
Why don't you dump all over him ?

Gateway rep told me AMD has recalled their 1GHz Tbirds (by phone, last night)
She put me on hold, came back on, and said the following:
"That's the Thunderbird chip you're asking about, right? I just talked to my tech guy-- things are not good, AMD has recalled those chips, and we won't be selling them again."
You can imagine my alarm.
I've written Toni Beckham, asking for confirm/deny.
I've pulled out of all my AMD positions until I hear back from her.
For reference, I spoke with an agent at 1-800-846-4510 ext. 75800
I made the call after reading a similar claim on the unreliable Yahoo board... although the post was made by a poster who's been seemingly bullish up until now. He claimed to have actually spoken with a tech guy, and was told something about a severe thermal issue-- I got no technical details out of my call, but the response I got was very firm...
If anyone else could call AMD IR, call Gateway, confirm/deny somehow... please do!
I want to be back in, but I can't do it until this is put to rest.
