Hi Ali Chen; Thanks!!! This is going into my collection of bizarre and weird engineering documents. Page 51 of ftp://download.intel.com/design/PentiumIII/datashts/24445208.pdf Where Intel specs max T(junction) lower than max T(case) for the 1.13GHz Pentium. I am stunned. I'll bet this chip is not going to be a big favorite of the overclockers... This is the clearest evidence that Intel is in deep, deep, deep trouble I have ever seen from a spec sheet. Management must have put a gun to some poor engineer's head to get him to sign off on the 1.13GHz speed bin, and in revenge he stuck this cropper in there. (Nice job dude! Morton Thiokol could have used you back in the early shuttle program.) Okay. Temperature ranges. 0 to +70 deg C is Commercial, right? And Industrial is -40 to +85 while Military is -55 to +125. I've never heard of 0 to 62. So what do you call it? Here are some suggestions: "Residential" (My #1 favorite) "Unsubstantial" (too long) "fanciful" (too frilly for an engineer) "liberal" (too political) -- Carl P.S. Some more: "quiescent" (#3 Engineers love to use this term disguise.) "nominal" (#4 Who cares about worst case?) "leisure" (Try to avoid too much hard computing) "denial" (Try not to think about AMD) "overclocked" (My #2 vote.)
