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. -- Sean Kelly NOAA/ERL Forecast Systems Laboratory Boulder Colorado USA
