  • Umm.. if you do use the hack and it turns out like that with the checkboard effect, how easy is it to undo it?
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

    • Very easy. You just re-install the original drivers.

          Still doesn't mean I don't pay my way though, I pay my mother a considerable amount of money to reside where I am plus I pay for everything else myself, including my computer, my car, clothes, etc, etc...

            The problem isn't where it's from, it's what it's in.

                • I think it's too soon for failure stats on the Opterons, but the Athlon 64 (Opteron-based) already has hundreds of errata on AMD's website and it's not even out.

                  • Yeah, that's my traditional reason for AMD avoidance. Some of the servers I'll have to service if they crap out will be 300-400 miles away from my base, so I really don't want to have to babysit them more often than necessary. Especially on a fixed fee contract basis.

                        Clearly, the thing to do is to fix the bugs before you launch a product. Not after.

                        • I'm sorry, hasn't Opteron been launched?

                          The errata affect both cores.
