But, why won't they just admit that the K6-II is crap?

Sluggo just ate this evening's entry before I could save it to the clip board. Another hour of work down the digital toilet of the AMD K6-II. (Buy Intel.) When I finally replace Sluggo with a real computer (Intel inside), everyone is invited to a Sluggo annihilation party. Bring sledgehammers.

Sluggo was built by one of my nephews, and he put the K6 into it before the problems with that particular device became widely known. I suppose that every company has built a flawed chip at one time or another, but most of them have acknowledged their mistakes. I recall the widely publicized problems with the early Pentiums. Intel admited to them. AMD remains in denial about the K6. That is why I distrust the company, even if their other CPUs are far more reliable than this piece of junk, and I'll be looking at Intel machines when I replace Sluggo.
