Scumbria, maybe we should put Tom's bad 1.13 GHz Intel chip next to all those scrunched Durons that showed up last week.

Scumbria,

re: "Intel has been releasing defective chipsets for some time now"

These is a big gap between "defective chipsets" and microprocessors that "don't work". You also imply that all of Intel's chipsets were defective, that's not true, is it?

re: "apparently they also released a bad CPU to Tom"

So now only Tom's doesn't work? Do you know that for sure, a few minutes ago you thought none of them worked.

re: "I'm surprised that old time Intel supporters aren't outraged by the fact that this happened/ is happening

I plan to be outraged if there is a reason to be outraged.

re: "Tom is just the messenger, not the cause of the problem.

That's still open for debate.

John

Scumbria-

If it is true, I am beyond outraged. You would think that Intel or any other company would make damn sure that parts sent to the clockmeisters of the world work properly.
I am still skeptical about what happened here.
