This sure sounds like a software problem - since upgraded software SOLVES the problem Wow, what logic. What if more software needed to be upgraded to run on P4? What if all? This suggests buying an Alpha machine becomes a software problem. Just upgrade your software. The other case is what if a software upgrade didn't solve the problem ? Will we ever see P4 not compiling the linux kernel? But then that would still be OK with you because it runs most software ;-) Muzo

Re: This sure sounds like a software problem - since upgraded software SOLVES the problem. In one sense any software that doesn't run on your processor is a software problem. But that JAVA code has no problem on 486, Pentium, Pentium II, PIII, Celeron, Xeon, Winchip, Cyrix, K6-2, K6-3, Duron, or Athlon. Only P4. Dan PS - I tend to agree with you that it sounds more like a problem with a chipset driver or video driver or something like that rather than a hardware driver. But the issue is treated as solved with a workaround in the next release - and they claim the issue was due to something in P4 and not the chipset, video driver, or anything else. They say they found and solved the problem and the problem was P4.
