Eric, Re: "The call is free but customers will be charged $35 for the support incident ... Kind of blows a hole in the 25% cheaper idea." Now we know why AMD priced the K6/K6-2 25% cheaper than Intel's CPU ... It's to pay for the "software patches" and "hardware kludges" necessary for higher speed parts. I bet right now, Fuchi is notifying the DOJ of this "rip off" of the consumer and "Ole" Hutch is E-mailing the "Queen". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

Eric - Re: "The call is free but customers will be charged $35 for the support incident, according to an update on AMD's Web site" Sounds like AMD just increased the cost of their CPUs by $35. That ought to make a few customers more than a little UNHAPPY ! Paul
