Elmer - Re: ". Do you think they will be fair and condemn AMD when it is their ox that is getting gored or do you think they will prove to be the hypocrites they are? Do you think Bill Jackson will post his outrage and demand the full errata list? Will Petz speakout? I don't think so." I honestly believe that Petz and Komrade Jackson and Spry Guy and Den Mother little sTeVi* h*rris, and Bam Bam JaJa Man McMannis will join us concerned AMD shareholders and DEMAND a recall of all faulty IronGate chip sets and the immediate resignation of Jerry Sanders. After all, we must preserve the integrity of AMD - soon to be rewarded by MIT or Harvard as the TURN-AROUND-COMPANY of the MILLENIUM - and we wouldn't want any system hangs to occur for AThWipy Owners as all parties watch AMD receive its coronation on an Internet Multicast event.

Elmer, Yes Elmer, I too am curious about this. I am not sure where the bug lies(if it is a bug), because some say a smaller faster capacitor in parallel with the existing one on the MOBOs/cards will fix it? So it may be the mobo/card that is hypersensitive to noise on certain lines? In any event it does not look like a genuine CPU bug(bad code inside etc) it really looks like a card fault and it will be fixed very soon(it has been I see, yet with no changes to the CPU?) So as far as I can see if a fix on the board fixes the bug it is a card/board level circuit bug. If they have to make a change to the chipset or CPU then it is a CPU/chipset bug. Bill
