I understand, but if I'm about to drop $1000 on a computer build I'd rather build one that I'm sure I won't have an issue with than one that I "might" have an issue with. I myself won't drop a dime on an AMD processor until I've seen a lot more write up saying they haven't had an issue.

You know "Who" to call.   Let me know if you need his number.

Nawww I'm good, geek son built me a box for my birthday and its a screamer  :D

The Zohan keeps pushing the AMD cpus, but I've heard too many people complain about having the issue with the spinning clipboard. They all say "I wish some one would have told me about this BEFORE I bought it", so I'm letting them know about it BEFORE they buy it. If the issue is resolved we will hear about it. I know Skuzzy has asked for more info form people who are running AMD, but untill we get a lot more info I do my part to warn the masses  :D

 I listened to sound advice from TilDeath and then built my own machine. I had no bugs to deal with, no hardware switches to do afterward...and did not burn up any cards!
