Tony,

For the fifteenth time, bad yield and poor reliability are synonymous.

Of all the things in the computer, the reliability of the CPU is about the last thing you need to worry about. That's because the CPU's are a lot more reliable than other hardware components. And there is no comparison between hardware and software. The software and various software drivers for hardware are most often the source of problems.

Maybe you should talk to MIS support group in a large company. Why don't you ask them how many problems are related to failure of the CPU.

I think you would do a lot better as a salesman selling computer stuff to newbies. Your FUD may work on them.

Joe

PS: I didn't see anything on the label of Pentium, K6 or Cyrix chip stating their yields. How can I find out (accurately and reliably) the yield of the CPU I am about to buy?
