Re: "Scary thought. Maybe Intel needs to fix the Katmai. I wouldn't want a system that keeps on crashing."

You miss the point Max. Intel had the confidence to push the Katmai to the limit (804mhz) IN PUBLIC. That was on .25u. Guess what it will do on .18u!!!

AMD on the other hadn would only show the K7 IN PRIVATE running Godzilla at 500mhz with a 1/3 BSB. Pretty embarrasing if you ask me.

Your 700mhz demo claim didn't happen, but who expected it too? If only they could have plugged your mouth into the socket....

Maxwell, <a Katmai chip up to 804 MHz -- at which point the online banking application it was running crashed>
Actually, the article does not say whether there
were any successful runs at all, even at lower
frequencies... Therefore, using the ill-logic
of Intelbuffons, the fix you suggested must
be definitely in order :)
