Processors are a high dollar item for something quite compact, they're sort

didn't Archimedes get famous for devising some sort of test along those
lines?
Eureka! So he did!
Are you suggesting that he take his processors into the bath with him so
they can talk to his rubber duckies:-) or that he run naked through the
streets in front of the main AMD office in protest?
The latter would probably work better than the former at least if >>I<<
were doing the running. Any toplevel AMD exec would do anything to
crank up quality control rather than have to endure the sight of an old
fat bald guy running around naked out front screaming about defective
processors...;-)
