SCUMbria - Re: "There will always be a circuit which limits the clock speed of any design. Why does everyone insist on calling this a design problem? " Was it an AMD FEATURE ? Was it an AMD innovation? Paul

Scumbria Re <<Why does everyone insist on calling this a design problem?>> Atiq Reza himself called it a "design" problem himself. According to him it has been "fixed" and they are getting high yeilds. Look at the AMD website for details. During the last CC, Sanders said that the problem has been fixed. He failed to mention that it will take a good 2 months for the problem to work its way out of the manufacturing pipe lines. Considering the broad availability of the K62-450 from Pricewatch and also increased availibility of K62-400 (6 more vendors than 5 days ago, and no I am not counting the K6 III's which for some reason appear at the end of that list) I beilive Reza. AMD is surely struggling and taking all its investors along for the ride, but AMD is fighting very hard with CONSIDERABLE success. You have to be blind not to see that. Mani
