They've just barely begun making the chips without the bug.

There is so much misinformation out there on this subject, but the general
consensus I've gotten from people I trust who have been following the
pentium bug saga:

Don't expect any guarentees on a bug free pentium for another 6 months. If any
of these letter writting or petition campaigns are successful (IE Intel offering
free upgrades with no questions asked), don't expect it for another year!


(Just another opinion to confuse everyone :)


My personal advice: If you're worried about the bug, buy a DX4/100 :)
