Beamer - re: "users should be aware that in the future, they should look for mainboards equipped with this special protective switching mechanism, otherwise, the CPU could still burn up" This "new device" - a sensor/switch from Maxim - DOES NOT EXIST ON ANY AthWiper boards that have already shipped ! Only new ones will have it. By the way - AMD has released two videos of their own in an attempt to do MAJOR DAMAGE CONTROL. AMD is in real trouble. Paul

BMW, Palomino's major flaw when it is used with modern mainboards. AMD responded to our video and will be setting new guidelines for all mainboard manufacturers. These consist of a modification for all upcoming Socket A motherboards, which are to be integrated with a special electronic switching mechanism to protect the CPU from overheating. The good news about this solution is that it guarantees that the CPU will survive; the bad news is that data safety is no longer guaranteed. The PC is not shut down properly, and instead it is switched off quite abruptly. Data Integrity problem, in high RAS requirement servers, the dreaded "DI", gets a priority zero, severity zero every time. Oh well, better than a cooked chip. Tony

OT, but of import to the field of copyright protection: Court halts AOL 6.0 distribution Playmedia says software violated its copyright Oct. 30 — PlayMedia Software said on Tuesday a federal court ordered America Online to stop distributing the 6.0 version of its software that contains closely held PlayMedia’s digital music encoding technology. ... “The irony in this case is that historically, AOL claims to support ’strong protection of intellectual property rights, both online and off, yet the Court’s Opinion suggests that AOL did not respect the intellectual property rights of our client,” said PlayMedia attorney Henry Gradstein in a statement. ... msnbc.com
