Re: Maybe AMD should test their CPUS better.

Maybe Intel should ship a P4 that supports Oracle client:

How do I deal with the Jinitiator and Pentium 4 incompatibility?
The Jinitiator 1.1.7.27 has incompatibility problems with Pentium 4 processors, like the GX400. Many other Java applications will encounter similar problems.

There are two common symptoms:
1. When installing Jinitiator 1.1.7.27, Dr. Watson is invoked and installation does not complete
2. *IF* there is a successful install, when one attempts to access Oracle applications, the browser simply terminates

Workaround:
1. Install Jinitiator 1.1.7.27. If Dr Watson is invoked, Go to Task Manager and End Task.
2. Close all browsers & Java windows.
3. Replace the symcjit.dll located in c:\Program Files\Oracle\Jinitiator 1.1.7.27 Export\bin\ with this one. Click here to download symcjit.dll.
4. Set the permissions to READ ONLY.
5. Install Jinitiator again. Caution: The downloaded version LOOKS identical to the one that malfunctions. They're both the same number of bytes and have the same version (3.00.072b).

Paul, "Maybe AMD should test their CPUS better."

Maybe "gordonfamily.com" should use better heat sink,
or do not buy grey-market re-marked K6 processors?

"This problem was present on our family's computer"
"The Case number assigned for our problem at AMD in 1998 was Case #65398."

Yep. 1998. What a hoot, Engel-speaking!
