Elmer, re:Assuming you are an AMD investor, it is in your best
interests to know that the K6 has serious bugs. Bugs
that can bring down a system running perfectly legal code.


This is a total fabrication. No K6 system has EVER been "brought down" by a K6 bug. IF YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT THIS BUG IS YOU ARE A TOTAL LIAR. All of Intel's Pentium processors have dozens of different bugs, the K6 has 3, none of which can be demonstrated, none of which can crash any of the following OS's: WIN95, NT 3.5, NT 4.0, Linux, Solaris, OS/2, Unix (all variants). But the Pentium F0 bug crashes every single one of these OS's so that data cannot be saved or recovered from open applications. Anybody's Intel-P5 WIN95 machine is fair game for a hacker who puts an Active-X control on his web page that gets downloaded to your machine and corrupts it. (not possible with pure Java, BTW)

Haven't you downloaded ftp://download.intel.com/design/pentiumii/specupdt/24333706.pdf yet?

How many times have you heard those guys state here that the yields are fine now, not to worry?

No one in the last two months on this thread has claimed that AMD's production problems are behind them. Once again, you are a liar if you can't reference such a post.
