To quote GUTB

"Sometimes FS truly makes me sick.

Best Buy isn't selling "Pentium 4"? How in HELL did it turn into a problem with the P4? The problem was with HP who failed to uppdate the BIOS and who failed to properly design the box. This sort of "reporting" refelects very badly on this site.

It looks like anything negative that can be even remotely put back on Intel is "news" around here, so it's time for me to KEEP IT REAL:

**** 760 DOESN'T WORK ****

The problem doesn't appear to be specific to any one supplier, Micron officials said Tuesday evening. Rather, the delays stem from a motherboard glitch that forced Micron to redesign the motherboard, with help from AMD and Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd., the supplier of the board itself.

But when Micron started ramping volume shipments, the company found that the boards were unable to meet the noise tolerances required by the faster 266-MHz front-side bus speed used by the AMD-760 chipset.

Gateway Inc. (stock: GTW) also reported problems in late June concerning its own motherboards designed for the Athlon platform.

So, FS, how about publishing THAT juicy scoop? What kind of person scans the news sites, and somehow ONLY manages to find something negative to report about Intel, even if you have to be a world-champion Twister player to come up with an Intel connection, and fail utterly to pick up the hot news directly related to AMD?

WELL? **** WHY IS THAT???? ****"





He seems just a little uptight ;)
