| Does anyone know if Digital has applied the "workaround" to the
Pentium Pro "non-problem" on our motherboards?

| 4400.3 | But, maybe they *did* learn something... | SMURF::STRANGE | Steve Strange:Digital UNIX, DCE DFS | Tue Mar 05 1996 15:36 | 7 |

Yeah, they did. They put out a buggy chip, and it didn't hurt them.
If anything, they are more dominant now than they were 13 months ago
or so when the Pentium FP bug was finally aknowledged. (1/2 :-) )

RE -2
I don't think so. We have two Celebris systems we have been trying
to upgrade to pentium. The manual says you can do it, the motherboard
has the correct connector, but call the service line and get told that
they are incompatible. The fix is alledgedly a BIOS upgrade that has
no due date and has been on the books for 6 months. No wonder we are
getting out of the home PC business. If I personnally owned these PC's
they would be upgraded or they would be exchanged. But I guess I don't
understand the vaguaries of the market...
