Scumbria, From the C't - English: translator.go.com German:http://www.ix.de/newsticker/data/jr-20.03.00-001/ Incorrect Intel Mobile processors Intel delivered mobile Pentium II and mobile Celeron processors of the design " mobile of modules 1 " (MMC1), which can malfunction their service in Notebooks. Concerned only the processors on a MMC1 of the version, clocked with 400 mc/s, are 504. Intel promised to exchange the modules. Electronic noise in an electric circuit on the module has the consequence that a Notebook does not bootet. Since the error occurs immediately, it is improbable that Notebooks with such a mobile modules are delivered at customers. This would occur only if before the distribution of the devices no final inspection took place. The alarm bells should schrillen however with those dealers and OEM partners, who are situated such Intel modules still in th shelves have. (jr/ c't) Goutama

Scumbria, That comment from Pawl reminds me of the Sov era explanation of the lack of goods in Russian supermarkets and the enormous choice available in the USA. Said Pravda: "The citizens of the USSR are so much better off financially than those in the USA that they immediately buy all the goods for sale in the shops, leaving the shelves bare, whereas the impoverished Americans can only gaze in envy at what they cannot afford to buy, leaving the shops full of unsold goods" (90% accurate recollection of the quote). Seems similar to the Pawl Ratchet. Bill
