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