Also, does anyone have the "test" that was floating around the net and in various newspapers a few weeks to see if your machine has the FDIV problem. I lost the little "post-it note" I had it written on. Since then, I haven't been able to reproduce it. (Either the bug went away, or I entered the wrong numbers. **GRIN**)
This is from the djgpp (DOS port of gcc) mailinmg list, posted by the author of said port himself. It's short enought to post and might be helpful to some. Flames will be forwarded to postmaster@intel.com. =D.C. Williams <dcwill@ee.unr.edu> ==============INCLUDED MESSAGE BELOW=========================== Subject: Intel recalls Pentium Status: RO CNN reported this weekend that Intel has announced that they will replace ALL defective Pentium(tm) processors, no questions asked. To determine if your Pentium(tm) is devective, run the attached MS-DOS program FDIVBUG1.COM (source included also). It will tell you if you have the bug and where to call for a replacement if needed.
