According to an article in my local paper (reprinted from the New
Zork Times) a major NYC bank claims to have discovered calculation
errors it attributes to the Pentium. The bank spokesman who didn't
want to identify himself or the bank says their testing found the
innacuracies could occur more frequently than intel says.
The article goes on to say that scientists at Brrokhaven labs found
a miscalculation in calcing the impact of colliding subatomic
particles. A multimedia company in Long Island sent back two Pentium
machines after a miscalculation was found in a graphics program. They
replaced them with Macs.
