By the way I just wrote a short Email to Ed Stroligo at Overclockers.com pertaining to his articles addressing the difference between J and A steppings among TBreds; their implications, and origins. He makes the following statements in his artcile titled "Just not good enough for overclocking." 1/13/03;
"This could change, but for now, I think you have to treat chips beginning with "J" as Just not good enough for high-end overclockers.
There is nothing wrong or evil with AMD selling these chips; I'm sure they work perfectly fine at their rated speeds, and that's 98-99% of AMD's market.
These chips are supposed to be the next Durons, anyway, so AMD can end up with plenty of these for some time to come with no problem.
What would be wrong is you buying one. At least AMD is nice enough to provide an indicator that these aren't primo chips. You ought to take advantage of that."
I think your JIUHB wonder-chip replaces the "J" in his article's title"Just not good enough..." to the J in Juxtapose; from "low-end" to "high-end" TBred's as he describes them in his most recent article of 1/15/03 titled "High Breds and Low Breds."
