I remember that vividly. :) Everyone was always saying how AMD machines were
unstable and all kinds of similar trash and to go Intel... Well, when AMD
starting coming down on Intel really hard (performance wise) they pushed out the
1.13's a bit too early (May have only been producing 1.08-1.1GHz silicon, the
extra 30-50mhz pushed it over the edge in some cases). Anyway, lots of P3-1.13's
were crashing left and right. Intel ended up recalling them of course. I don't
recall AMD ever doing such a thing. :)
