Paul,

Re: "AMD knows all about this ! They shipped IBM some "jacked-up" 80C286's about
10 or 12 years ago - they lasted a few days on system tests at IBM before
failing for Hot Electron Trapping."

Paul, that's very interesting ... I'm concerned that if there is a problem,
AMD might not notify customers. Just like the 350mhz/400mhz K6-2 WIN95
problem.

Make It So,
Yousef

Ten or twelve years ago? I know at that point you were already an old timer, but for the rest of us (and for the industry) that's ancient history.
