Steve, your logic doesn't make sense. There are so many other reasons why AMD has failed to penetrate the corporate market and none of them have anything to do with the quality of their cpus. I will concede the point the validating a system involves more than the cpu and that's where AMD had problems early on with the Athlon. The VIA chipsets were not stable enough. I think the current crop of Athlon chipsets is as stable as anything coming out for Intel Cpus but AMD missed the boat a year and a half ago when they clearly had the better cpu but not better chipsets. Still, the original argument was about cpu design and number of erratas. I still think AMD has the fewer cpu erratas due to a better design. I have not seen any proof that that is not the case. C
