<<<While technical details are sparse, News.Com is reporting that Gateway has found a glitch in &quot;some&quot; 1GHz TB Athlon-based systems. It isn't clear if the CPU or some other component is implicated, but when you reflect on the mobo compatibility claims issued against the KX133 and whatnot, it looks like AMD may have spoken too soon. Gateway did say that not all systems seem to be affected, so AMD is in the clear on that account. But when there's trouble in the Athlon forest, we all know what component to look at first. *sigh* Will there ever be a BX-strength motherboard again?
Eep! :Q

Someone posted about this earlier. It doesn't seem to be a big deal. According to the one article, it may be a motherboard/power supply problem.

A first tier OEM would actually put crappy motherboards and/or power supplies in their systems? GTFOOH!

Hehe guess GW needs to find a supplier of high quality power supplies/mobos in order to power that beast eh?
