20 Does anybody know if AMD is doing advance returns of the defective
21 CPUs (ie they send the replacement CPU before receiving the original
22 back, typically with a hold on a credit card)? Mine also fails the
23 gcc test, though I don't think I've encountered the issue yet in
24 routine use (I suspect it is only a matter of time and it is only a
25 week old). I really don't want to be without a CPU for weeks on end.
