I note with interest the comment abut using quad core chips with one failed core as a tri-core processor. Makes sense, I guess. It's got to be a booger soldering on the jumpers to wire around the bad core though... {8>D)=
Those wondering about software to take advantage of the extra cores need only install Linux. There is also a plethora of 64 bit programming available for Linux.

Aaahhh great! I hope that it is a true 3 core chip rather than a malfunctioning quad-core. These pentium 4 laptops from Dell really run slow with XP in its 93 make over and patch iteration. Thank God for SuSE Linux! Oh! and Linus Torvalds of course. Using SuSE has really made my equipment safe, secure, solid, fast, and really usable. WooHoo! to AMD.
ps. Yo Linus, we are not getting any younger. I hope you have started grooming a predecessor with your vision. Ya think?
