JoeBob Haldy, Re -- Of all the things in the computer, the reliability of the CPU is about the last thing you need to worry about. The main point is that low yielding CPU's are more unreliable than high yielding ones. Wether one worries or not is a different issue, and is left to the buyer. For corporations and business the more reliable components in the PC the better (less service down time). That is why Cyrix and AMD has not been able to sell into business. Stockman

Joe, >>"Maybe you should talk to MIS support group in a large company"<< The MIS support group is right down the hall from my office, and we are a $2 billion/year revenue company. Is that big enough? We got that way by shipping large computers that go into "glass houses" and have to be the most reliable computers (well, along with man rated spacecraft computers and pentagon computers that control bombs), because entire businesses are run on them. My MIS friends and my computer development and technology peers all agree that, when it comes to CPU's, we will never compromise reliability, we will use only the best, at work, or at home, you know who makes them, and, For the sixteenth time, bad yield and poor reliability are synonymous. I'm not spreading FUD, just knowledge based on 25 years in development, technology and reliability in computers and semiconductors. Over and out on this one. Tony
