Adam, check out Tom's update on the 1.13 GHz Pentium III: tomshardware.com Intel requests me to send back my sample so that it can be diagnosed. I responded that I wouldn't give away my only proof. They said that they unfortunately don't have another sample that they could send me right now, but I would get one as soon as possible. Basically I can understand Intel. Of course they want the part back so they can try to find out what's wrong with it. However, I prefer to hang on to this buggy little bugger, since it is the only thing to back up my story. Of course Intel wants to find the reason for the system crashes before they make a statement, make a new stepping, write a new micro code update or even start retracting their great new product. Still I doubt that any other journalist in my situation would have hesitated to report on this issue. I think Tom is being a little too paranoid here. Yeah, I know, only the paranoid survive. It's just too bad there isn't a real high level of trust between Tom and Intel. Tenchusatsu
