  Stop spreading mis-information.  Some people will believe ANYTHING.
To set the record straight, at least in my case, I will be receiving
my new, FREE replacement Pentium chip in the next few days.  It involved
one or two phone calls to Intel and three return phone calls back to
get all the details.  All I had to do was explain to the sympathetic
Intel rep why floating point accuracy was important in my work.  It
wasn't hard and there was very little hassle.

  I've had more headaches from most other hardware vendors (including
Apple and IBM) in matters regarding replacement of defective hardware.
