SCUMbria - Re: "Intel's ongoing screwups and delays speak for themselves. " Why no mention of your sycophantic love Sanders' success with: 1. No SMP chip set - supposed to be delivered in December, 1999 ? 2. AthWiper Ultra - also promised for December 1999 - where is this screw up? 3. Duron Boot problems - theregister.co.uk Hardware Roundup Weak Duron's week 31 boot bug By: Lucy Sherriff Posted: 25/08/2000 at 16:36 GMT OC Workbench has posted a fix for the ABIT KT7 beta BIOS for the bug that means the KT7 won't boot with new Duron 600 CPU manufactured after week 31. New Durons have default Vcore of 1.6v. The patch can be downloaded from here. 4. No AThWIper Server CPUs - Intel has it ALL ! 5. No AThWiper Notebook CPUs - AMD's POWER SUCKER can't cut it - leaving Intel the WINNER ? Yes - you just love all those AMD successes !!! Meanwhile, My Intel shares are at an ALL TIME HIGH +/- a buck or two ! Paul

Intel's ongoing screwups and delays speak for themselves. Scumbria- I pulled out my copy of "Inside Intel" by Tim Jackson last night to see what the company's history on some of these problems had been. I was amazed to see that in the late '70s and early '80s Intel experienced what today would be called "vapor launches" and paper ramps etc. They also experienced delays in shipping product, unhappy customers due to production constraints etc. The point is that we hear from Droids all the time that Intel is not the perfect company it used to be in the good old days, that it has lost its edge. The good news is that Intel is the same old imperfect company it has always been. The "ongoing screwups" are nothing more than normal development pains which have been happening all along. If Intel does as well in the next 20 years as it has done since the last wave of screwups 20 years ago, you are going to seriously wish you had been onboard. I know, I know, nothing can be learned from the past. Frank
