How about using the name Thorium to refer to the K8 series You realize that Thorium is an element (atomic number 90)? The funny thing about it is that Thorium (foil) is used in accelerated soft-error analysis (thorium is used in the process of accelerated alpha emission tests), where the alpha particles penetrate the chip and cause logical failures. Anyway, if AMD tried to call a server chip "thorium", the reliability would certainly be questioned! More power to them. . . Steve
