<In the K6 these 5 numbers (or whatever) are very special, and show up only in extended precision mode. This mode is not even supported in current compilers, and is not used in desktop business applications. If the K6 bug is equally serious as you seem to insist, there would be proportional reaction of users, press, and manufacturers. There is no such reaction, and this proves you wrong.> This certainly sounds just like Intel's denials. 1 failure in 20,00 years was their claim. How would you know if it is supported in compilers? Futhermore the fact that no one is complaining simply proves that no one cares. Who cares when all they're doing is blasting mutant aliens? If the K6 were used in business there might be more attention. EP
