> INTEL QUIETLY FIXES BUG IN MICROPROCESSOR Yeah, this whole thing has caused quite a stir. It's what the reporter left out that is the problem - I clearly pointed out that there was a hardware work-around for the bug that ASUSTek didn't have on their motherboard and of course it's not fair to compare a performance problem with a legitimate wrong-answer FDIV bug. Intel was not pleased (to say the least), but I think we all have a clear idea of what happend now - that I actually defended Intel's position and the reporter was highly selective in which comments of mine he used. Sigh. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
