Jeroen, This bug sounds like GARBAGE to me. Even Intel's most severe critic Robert Collins seems to say so in the article referenced at 39711. The following two paragraphs (lifted from the article): Collins said that someone must have malicious intent for the bug to actually wreak havoc, making it different than past Pentium and Pentium Pro bugs. The bug is a single illegal instruction and not something that would be deliberately coded into a software program, according to Collins. Therefore, it will not be found in commercial software or independently developed software. Good luck to you short sellers, as you are about to get fried! Your phony bug story will not fly! Best wishes (and if you are short, you better run for cover), humbler carl
