Chris, Lots of box companies out there, but very few major IT companies. I'm curious about the Sony warrantee and service. Do they offer on site repair, internet system checks, and buy back at the end of the warrantee? NW Some Intel Pentium 4 chips had wrong code-WSJ NEW YORK, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. <INTC.O> said early shipments of its speedy new Pentium 4 chips to personal computer makers included the wrong piece of software code, though none of the chips reached consumers, the Wall Street Journal reported in its electronic edition Tuesay. Intel on Monday introduced the Pentium 4, which operates at speeds of 1.5 and 1.4 gigahertz, and major PC makers such as Compaq Computer Corp. <CPQ.N>, and Gateway Inc. <GTW.N> promptly unveiled Pentium 4-equipped PCs for sale for about $2,000. The problem was discovered last week and involved software code that acts as a system traffic cop, the so-called BIOS, the paper said. An updated version, correcting glitches in the Pentium 4, was forwarded to Intel's customers so they could replace the BIOS before sending systems to end users, the paper said. Intel shares finished off at $41- on the Nasdaq Monday. The stock has a 52-week high of $75-13/16 and a 52-week low of $35. ((New York Newsroom (212) 859-1700)) REUTERS * end of story *
