Saw this on hardocp, hope its not a repost. AMD is selling their prescott survival kit to benefit Family Eldercare. If u got the $$, help a good cause 🙂

Yeah there were posts about those here before. They are part of the reason I can't seem to warm up to AMD. Maybe they should spend money on some good ads instead of silliness.

Not with any Prescott I ever heard about. A little warmer sure, but hardly a problem. :beer:

The E0 stepping has some enhancements to help cool Prescott even more, so I've heard. 😀

Silliness, yes, but they are doing it for a good cause. :beer:

I meant silliness when AMD sent them out to people in the first place.

AMD can't really ever hope to out-advertise Intel and the huge amount of cash that Goliath would volley back and just double the ad coverage. They are best off making quality products (Opteron for server, A64 for enthusiasts) and relying on word of mouth to slowly move into some of Intel's marketshare.

And as a comparision, maybe Intel should spend some money on cooler processors instead premature DDR-II silliness, then maybe AMD wouldn't have anything to make fun of...:beer:

Jeez, it's AMD themselves (most likely an employee) selling these.

I heard they were going to make it for the 478, but last I read now the E0 is only for LGA775 :thumbsdown:

IIRC, the same was said for B0 stepping, C0 stepping, and D0 stepping 😛
