RE: AMD patch from Microsoft --- news.com "To get the patch, users are told to contact Microsoft's support lines and request the "hotfix for Windows 95." The call is free but customers will be charged $35 for the support incident, according to an update on AMD's Web site. More on fixing the flaw can be found at a bulletin on AMD's Web site. AMD has known about the flaw since the release of the 350-MHz K6-2, and has been working on a patch since then. Typically, AMD does not post information on processor flaws until a fix is found, said sources." Kind of blows a hole in the 25% cheaper idea, I especially like the part about witholding bug info until a patch is found.

ProfitsBob, Re: "Yousef, I spit on you ..." That's not very nice, ProfitsBob ... Do you think AMD will have profits in Q3. I believe there will be more losses ... You had better crawl back under your "rock" for at least another quarter. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
