RE:<Anand has a legitimate, buggy K7 given to him directly by AMD>

Yea, as I remember, when the Pentium 60 and 66 came out, several million people had legitimate, buggy Pentium's that they actually had to BUY!

The fact that it passed Winstone 99 indicates that the bugs are not serious, but perhaps some esoteric features of the chip had to be turned off to get it to run. Furthermore the bugs are more likely in the chipset, motherboard or even BIOS, otherwise the June launch would be in jeopardy, which it isn't.
