Re: "I do recollect Compaq using Athlons in this same series - but I doubt that any such problems are associated with this new solid chip from AMD."

Need I point out that AMD has steadfastly refused to publish the Athlon errata list, leaving themselves open to speculation that the list is so long that AMD is not willing to face the humiliation of revealing it?

Reggie, the Compaq 5838 uses an Athlon 500 :-(
athome.compaq.com
Other 5800 series with the lockup problem use Celeron's, Athlons and PIII. The Register story implies that this is a software problem.
