ConZito schrijft: "Er is een probleem ontdekt met de T-Bird versie van de Athlon in de Gateway 1Ghz systemen. Deze worden nu vervangen door de Athlon classic totdat het probleem is opgelost.":
Gateway is replacing the "Thunderbird" processor with older "classic" Athlon-based models until it can isolate the problem, which it discovered internally on June 12. The company said it believes the trouble lies in the motherboard or in the power supply, but has not determined which component is at fault.
The glitch appears to be a relatively minor one that affects only Gateway's 1-GHz Select "deluxe" consumer PC, according to a spokesman for the San Diego-based company. Potential errors include unexpected system lockups, which is the reason Gateway switched back to the 1-GHz Athlons.[break]Update:
The Register weet in dit nieuwsbericht te melden dat de oorzaak van het probleem het moederbord was. Hier het hele kleine stukje tekst:[/break]Meanwhile, it has emerged that the problem with 1GHz Gateway machines we reported on Friday is to do with a problematical motherboard the PC company was using.
