CJ,

Re: By your reasoning, Intel should still be suffering from the FDIV bug and the Rambus/MTH fiasco. Not to mention the 1.13GHz Pentium recall.>

Or, maybe, the Tom's I'm in fear of my life from Intel article.

Dear CJ:

I proved it wasn't Opterons. The time frame of that million CPU free offer was 2002, per AMD's complaint (and they are the ones who would know when they offered HP the million CPUs, not some lying poster). Opteron didn't launch until 4/03. It was definitely Athlons and given that it was to break into HP's Evo commercial line of desktops, they were quite likely Throughbreds.
