Kevin - Re: " Looks like everything Paul has been telling us about this problem is false then. The problem isn't with the chip at all. It's just poorly written software that causes the problem to crop up." Nice try ! Wiggle some more ! Intel redesigned their Pentium II a year ago. They didn't whine to Microsoft that it was a software problem. AMD KNEW ABOUT THE BUG, SHIPPED THE K6-2 anyhow, and then yelled "NOT OUR FAULT - ITS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM ! DON'T CALL US - CALL MICROSOFT! AMD made no attempt to address the problem and ship a defect-free problem - EVEN AFTER KNOWING ABOUT THE DEFECT ! Such wanton disregard for their unsuspecting customers. Paul
