I was just browsing through a selection of Pentium motherboards for
our next system and noticed that the boards without CPUs are US$200 to
$300 cheaper than those with CPUs.

Now, Intel is sending me an FDIV-bug-free Pentium CPU, but in return I
have to send back my buggy CPU or have a $50 charge appear on my
credit card.

Do you think it's at all expedient to just keep the buggy CPU and save
$150 to $250 off a CPU-less motherboard?  I can live with the FDIV bug.
