Gary, I'm not implying the Intel chip is flawed at all. There's absolutely no hint of any such errata. My point is that many people must make a purchase decision with their savings. Do they pay $600/year for cable-ADSL or $275 for dial up? The cost difference would pay for Intel's top line CPUs if a large number of folks went the slow modem fast CPU way. However judging by Intel's dropping revenue and the increased penetration of cable modem, it appears that the dollars are going to broadband (or other periphs). With pay per use/subscription and software activation coming more of the tech budget will shy away from hardware, instead going to software, content. No worries on the P4 >>Is there a new found bug in P4 1.7G that prevents it from using ADSL or Cable ? I tried to search Intel's errata but found nothing related to it. I would definitely give it a second thought to buy P4 if that is true.<<
