PCSS. Re: News. Note the following good news for cpq. Not so good news for other boxmakers and Intel. "Intel has put a hold on shipping two versions of its 550-MHz Pentium III Xeon 550 chips to OEMs for at least a couple of weeks because of a bug that is causing eight-way servers to hang, company officials confirmed. Although company officials said they are still evaluating the full extent of the problem, to this point the glitch has been limited to versions of the chip containing the 512Kb and 1MB caches, which have a problem involving communication between the processor and Intel's Saber motherboard. Vendors who have chosen not to utilize the Saber motherboard, such as Compaq, have not experienced any problems to date. In addition, the 2MB cache version of the chip does not appear to have the problem, and the company is continuing to ship that product. "We know there is a problem when we have a specific input signal from the processor that is at a slightly different range of voltage than specified on the processor data sheet. *We expect to hopefully see a workaround in the next couple of weeks," said Otto Pijpker, an Intel spokesman.*" Or somebody's out of a job HL
