since so many of you like to tear up every little problem with a company. affects the p3 900mhz xeon. from what i gathered in extreme cases can put the processor into an endless loop.

they are offering to switch the chip with a 700mhz version, which is about 75% cheaper than the 900mhz. only part i didnt like, maybe i dont really understand it. sun also had the same problem in april.
