I have to apologize for being unable to read and write mail for the last
few weeks or so. Actually, my posting was the very last I was able to do
because of serious trouble with both the ISP I am working with and my
computer (mostly due to my own stupidity). This is why I haven't been
able to ask anybody anything.

My #9735 chip is working fine, though, so AMD seem to have got rid of
it.

I wonder if it makes sense to ask them this late.
