Ali, <<<That's funny. A retired investor is teaching a senior validation professional on how an what to test. The whole "200" number was used to impress readers about complexity of PC validation, with hint that AMD-based systems are much more expensive to validate.>>> Unlike most others on this thread, I have always respected your technical knowledge. Your social skills are a different matter. Nevertheless. VALIDATE THIS: If the cost to validate AMD-based systems cost as much (give or take)as Intel based systems (let say it cost 1 X to validate Intel based-systems), then to validate both systems would it not cost closer to 2 X than 1 X? Anyhow it will be much more than 1 X. Futhermore: <<<You seem to be of opinion that a PC maker should always check for "compatibility" with some weird java-scripts out of some Finnish or Polish web site. >>> If you are going to sell it, what do you think?
