Pauleron,

< However, the XEONS are not defective>

Yes, I agree. they are not defective in the reliability sense. Just defective at meeting a certain spec.

I agree that this is same as AMD trying to maximize yield/revenue curve and agree it is smart on their part.

Regards,

Kash

Paul,

They work absolutely fine in one or two XEON systems. It is only with 4 XEONS hooked up that problems arise at 450 MHz. 400 MHz XEONS work fine in 4-way systems, if they are certified by Intel.

It seems like a lot of fine print. Maybe Intel should add "void where prohibited"
