<as I remember, when the Pentium 60 and 66 came out, several million people had legitimate, buggy Pentium's that they actually had to BUY> I am confident that there exists test software to allow an engineeer to accurately assess the K7 for historic bugs. However, as you point out the support chips must work too. The customer has a choice. He can buy the PIII and AMD knows this. They will not knowingly release a buggy chip or system. Major OEMs are the customers for the first chips and they are quite extensive in there evaluation. If Compaq or IBM sells it, the K7 is good enough for me.
