Jim, >>>So we don't know but AMD must have run some rocket lots on the new mask wafers and are pretty sure they have fixed the problem.<<< What's a rocket lot? Tony

Jim, Re: "I've already thought about that. As far as I know the mask problem was fixed 6 weeks ago." Well Jim, let's look at what you have said ... If AMD fixed this problem 6 weeks ago (early Dec), then the fix must have been identified and verified on silicon at least 10-14 weeks (fab time for 1st fixed silicon) before early December. This would mean that AMD knew about this back in the middle of September. I seriously doubt this. Jim, your made up story is not holding together ... THINK MAN !!! Make It So, Yousef
