Intel recalls dodgy Cape Cod mobos

theregister.co.uk

Intel has confirmed to The Register that all its jinxed CC820 motherboards are now being recalled for 'reworking'. A hardware modification was identified at the end of last month that seems to fix a tendency for the
mobo to hang or fail to boot.

As we predicted here earlier this week, a product recall is now in progress.

Chipzilla has also confirmed that a new stepping of the Memory Translator Hub (MTH) is being worked on which will restore some of the performance lost in allowing cheaper SDRAM to be used with the i820 chipset originally
designed solely for the much more expensive Rambus memory. ©
==========================================

I can't believe that I continue to hold AMD when its competitor is absolutely infallible :-)

Re: AMD has remained positive

dave,
After back to back days of huge run-ups, I can't believe we are going to close near the high.

I'm afraid I may have made a mistake only reinvesting half of my call profits today. I'm sitting on a pile of cash and I stand to lose big time if we don't drop below $75 with in the next few days.

All I can hope for is some severe volitility on Thursday, and a little bit of luck.
