I apologize. The text must be: "Is it a kind of a threat, you idiot?" There no excuse for misspelling on my part. - Ali P.S. I still waiting for your links about _ADDITIONAL_ insider selling. Simple apology to the thread would suffice too.

Paul, I was thinking of becoming an Intel investor, but yet another faux pax. www2.marketwatch.com Intel froze some Xeon shipments after finding flaw 7/10/2001 6:22:00 PM SAtAN CLARA, Calif., July 10 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (INTC) , the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, on Tuesday said it had suspended shipments of a version of its Xeon processor because of a rare glitch that could cause computer workstations and servers to freeze up. The processor, a Pentium III Xeon running at 900 megahertz with 2 megabytes of level-two cache memory, was introduced in March and Intel found the glitch in high-stress laboratory testing in April, Intel spokesman Robert Manetta told Reuters. Shipments of that version of the Xeon were suspended after the glitch was discovered and Intel engineers sought to solve the problem. But a suitable fix was only devised recently, and shipments will resume next month, Manetta said. Because the chips had been shipping for only a month before the flaw was discovered, the number of potentially problematic Xeon 900 MHz processors involved was immaterial, Manetta said. He declined to specify the number of the 900 MHz Xeon chips Santa Clara, California-based Intel had sold. Intel doesn't sell nearly as many of its Xeon processors, the brains of workstations and servers, as it does of its Pentium and Celeron personal-computer and laptop microprocessors. "There are users out there who do have these chips, but no end users have come up with this issue," Manetta said. "We've found it only in lab tests." For customers not wanting to wait until August for a replacement chip, which will be corrected by tweaking a portion of the manufacturing process, they can trade their current 900 MHz chips for a 700 MHz Pentium III Xeon, Manetta said. Paul, I thought Mikey told us Intel faithful we had a stable platform. Should I be worried? Regards Ed P.
