It was an AMD system CONFIGURED by AMD , SET UP by AMD, and DEMOed by AMD PERSONNEL. It crashed in front of an audience of PC Resellers. >>Microsoft had the same problem a few years back... it did not hurt Windows sales. When you have a good product, superior to all others<< Are you comparing AMD to Microsoft? And why would you compare ASSLon to Windows?! FYI, Windows (3.1, 95, 98 and NT) sells not because it's a "superior" product, it's because its monopoly position in the market place. In the microprocessor business, don't you realize only Intel is qualified to compare to Microsoft? (BTW, I am very happy share holder of MSFT and INTC ) AMD is AMD, the loser AMD, and it will report another record loss in Q3, and the CEO Sanders will make you believe next quarter and next year it will be different... Are you ready for the coming AMD earning warning? It's about the time: mid to late September is the time AMD will suppress the market every year. Are you ready???

Tejerk - Re: 'Microsoft had the same problem a few years back....it did not hurt Windows sales. When you have a good product, superior to all others, temporary problems are just that, temporary. " AMD is no COMPAQ ! When Intel offers rock solid stability, buyers have CHOICE. And you know who that choice will be @! Re: "In your desperation, you are starting to overreach " Nope - you're just sticking your head in the sand, hoping that AMD has suddenly got lucky - REAL lucky ! Sorry ! Re: "Don't worry....your very fast koppafeel will be out soon. It will, won't it? And you know intc never has any launch problems....usually. Isn't that right?" Intel has had a few problems in the past. But AMD has ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS - with EACH AND EVERY CPU launch since 1995. Paul
