Yousef, <Have you seen the lastest K6-2 350mhz problem> No, everybody have seen just the usual Microsoft Windows problem, when ever faster processor hit the amateurish practice of having short code loops to measure some timing parameters that are critical for a driver. It should happen at some point anyway as processors get faster and unexpectedly faster. The fix is, for your info, something like changing the loop counter in the IOS.vxd from 3 to 4, or something like that. Any binary editor can do this patch at no cost. Sorry to educate you on so simple matters, Yousef. I would strongly recommend you to stick with your extremely narrow speciality - Leff and Idsat. I guess you must be clearly confused now as how it is possible for the "inferior" AMD process technology to get above 500MHz at .25um and NO REFRIGIRATION. I was trying to educate you on architectural matters of CPU design, but you never listen:-) "make it so, Ph.D?" - huh.
