This is an OUTRAGE !!! We demand a RECALL by AMD.

It gets worse!!

Many would know that increasing the core voltage of these chips through the BIOS to 1.8 volts would fix the majority of instability problems being experienced by many owners.

So instability is a mounting issue and jacking up the Vcc will only fix the majority of instability problems!!! That means AMD has left their customers out there hanging with unstable overclocked Athlons rushed to market only out of desperation to try and keep from falling farther and farther behind P4. Pure desperation.

Where are the outcries from AMDroids?

Re: While AMD Athlon cores ....not enough power is being supplied to them

An inadequate power supply will make any system unstable. Athlons use more power than other processors, and when used in a system with an inadequate PS, like any other processor, their stability will suffer.

Contrast this with the numerous recent Intel CPUs and chipsets that corrupted data or crashed due to inherent design and manufacturing flaws, rather than incorrect assembly of the system (using the wrong power supply).
