Engel, RE:"My mistake - the report stated that AMD had to RECALL K6-2 speed grades BELOW 380 MHz - meaning 333 and 350 MHz. Apparently, AMD is SPECIFYING A NEW BIOS IS REQUIRED for the 380 MHz parts - to "avoid" a recall like the 333 and 350 MHz chips!" ------ Apparently the 380 and 400 didn't have the same problem. The 350 and above had the Windows 95 Microsoft problem. These were NOT recalled. It appears that AMD nipped the warpcore 333-350 bios problem in the bud very quickly...if there was a problem at all. This real world tech guy is trying to be the equivalent of the Drudge report. Never the less, maybe you should sell your few shares of AMD stock. --- Jim
