I ripped off your entire post in toto and pasted it on the SI Compaq thread without so much as a how-dee-doo. :))

I hope this little imbroglio is over, I think this maybe was more symptomatic of the holdover Alphaeem, than an Intel problem. It IS to be noted that the fix was a bios adjustment, which would seem to fall more into the bailiwick of that of a VAR rather than that of a chip maker.

Oh well,

It would be nice to know, that the fix does not negatively affect performance (as was the case with the USIII BIOS fix about 6-9 months ago)

Paul, Re: "The BIOS software change we recommended is Itanium processor-related and how hardware interfaces with the operating system and data flow."

This does confirm that it was a CPU problem, though. While BIOS fixes are quite common to fix CPU related problems, I would have preferred more information on this. Of course, it's good that the problem was fixed quickly, but I wonder if anyone else will be affected.
