First, I found that AMD apparantly has a one-year warranty on the K6, not a 30 day warranty. So Jordan... you should be able to replace the CPU. I also got a request to have someone send a report to hw.support@amd.com; this should include informatin like the motherboard, the symptoms, and what is hoped to be done about it. (I kept telling the person I was mostly calling so AMD would be aware of this, that I had been considering getting a K6 to upgrade my system but simply cannot as long as this is hanging over the processor's head.) As I don't know enough about thud, I couldn't really answer all of his questions, or send the email myself. I hope this is useful :). Sean.
