Maxwell - Re:" They ripped me off too. I owned a Pentium 133 with that FPU bug."

WRONG !

Intel caught the FDIV bug in June/July of 1994 and by December 1994 when they shipped replacement parts, Intel was shipping only 60,66, 90 and 100 MHz Pentiums.

The 125 MHz and 133 MHz Pentiums were not shipped until spring/summer of 1995 - long after the FDIV problem was corrected.

Maxwell,

Re: "They were working on the solution and responded publicly when it was questioned."

So if consumers had not complained loud enough ... We would have never
heard from AMD, even though they knew it was a problem. That just makes
me question ... How many more problems exist that AMD has "decided" to
keep to themselves. I'm worried because this will have a very negative
impact on AMD stock if more "surprises" come out.

Make It So,
Yousef
