Paul, you still haven't answered the question.

You claimed you were told that there was a tbird recall 3 days ago by a gateway rep. Happen to remember his name? Or would you like to fess up and tell us you made it all up.

Gateway thinks it lies in the mobo OR the power supply (I wouldn't be surprised, given the 1 GHz + the geforce graphics card). And as for Ali Chen, what sort of crap was her post supposed to be? Gateway has a problem with their custom-designed 750-based mobo with 1 GHz tbirds (which is probably taxing the 750 specs to the limit, recall the KT133 is essentially a KX133 'fixed' to support the more demanding timing requirements), and Ali cries "the sky is falling! the sky is falling!" Hello? The KT133 is working fine with all the tbirds, per the review sites, especially the Asus board. And we just got word about the 760 MP coming very soon. You shorts (yes, you included Paul) and intellibees had your week, now, let's watch the action through the 19th.

Doug

PM from V. Malik about the 2 page ad in Business Week and the Wall Street Journal (thanks, Ted)

Same 2 page spread is in the latest issue of Fortune (July 10th issue).

The last time I remember an ad from AMD in fortune is over 2 years ago
(for the K6 chips, when they originally came out).

They must really be opening the processor spigot.


I don't think they are buying all those adds in business publications to sell gaming PCs for the home.

<I guess you 'droids are smarter than the Gateway Engineers.>

How amusing - didn't this "head 'droid" tell us it was a AMD processor problem.
