If a few hundred random failures show up out of millions of AMD processors people would naturally blame crappy third party chipsets or excessive overclocking. :-P
A few hundred random failures DO show up in AMDs processors and they are probably caught by the system supplier, not the customer. Nobody ships zero DPM.
On another note, DJ Taiwan Press is reporting that:
"Intel has placed an order with Taiwan's Silicon Integrated Systems Corp to help ease a chip shortage, the Commercial Times reports, without citing sources.
Silicon Integrated may sell chips to Intel as early as October, the report says. The chips would be used in Intel's personal computer motherboards.
United Microelectronics Cort (UMC) will make the chips that Intel has ordered, the report says. UMC owns a controlling stake in Silicon Integrated.
Intel, which is phasing out some of its older chips, has ordered chips from Silicon Integrated to stem the shortfall, the report says."
This is from a news feed I get which doesn't allow cut & paste.
The report doesn't identify which components these are but other than processors, chipsets and Flash I don't know what else Intel has that goes on the MB unless it's lan or something similar.
