Re: Do you think they will be fair and condemn AMD... The last 2 chipsets released by AMD didn't have to be recalled (like Intel's 820/840 - initial release), motherboards already in built systems didn't have to be recalled to have expansion slots plugged (like Intel's 820 - initial release), and their last processor didn't produce random results when running some of the SPEC components (like Intel's coppermine - initial release). This isn't a strong topic for you right now, Paul, you should focus on business system sales where Intel is still holding its ground - for how long, we just don't know. Dan
