VIA data corruption fixed...

A BIOS patch probably means they turned some performance feature off.

Windpipe,
RE:"This must make Mikey Dell real anxious to rush an Athwipe design into production - NOT. He thinks those AthWipe systems are unstable... and he's right."

Mikey has had 2 years to qualify a Athlon system. Why would he rush to AMD when Intel makes him deals he can't refuse?
So far he has played Intel like a Violin.

OTOH, every other major OEM offers Athlon/Duron boxes. Even Sony.

My Athlon systems are very stable an I pound them pretty good.

OTOH, they (AMD) don't yet offer the total package like Intel. Desktop chips, notebook chips, 2, 4 and 8 way server chipsw/chipsets/infrastructure.
Until they do, they are fighting Intel with one arm tied behind their back while hopping on one leg.
