<If you have a complaint about the reliability of AMD products, please site some empirical evidence rather than some abstract inference from an IBM theory about manufacturing yields.>

Isn't it simple? It's not that AMD's products aren't reliable (they are), it's that AMD can't make enough of these products at the expected reliability. (And you'll probably respond with a "duh.") ;-)

<Anyway, I doubt that there are many Windows based computers whose reliability is gated by the CPU hardware. The software is so poor that even if there were CPU problems, you would never know about them.>

And I'll probably respond with a "duh."

By the way, how's Internet Exploder 5 doing? I haven't switched here at work yet because IT hasn't fully tested it yet, but they did force me onto MS Outlook, and I hate it.
