Program Information
In December of 1994, Intel announced a lifetime replacement
policy on the well publicized floating point unit flaw, contained
in the then current version (60-100MHz) of the Pentium®
processor. Non-FPU flawed versions of the Pentium processor began
shipping in late 1994. If you took delivery of your system on Jan
1, 1995 or later, it is increasingly probable that you have a
processor without the flaw. Therefore, it is important that you
check your system to determine if a replacement is needed. See
question 2 in the FAQs to find
out how you can easily check your system for the flaw.
The replacement program is directed at End Users of
working systems who are concerned about the impact of this flaw
on their applications (see White Paper
for more information). The FAQ describes
the replacement process as well as answers commonly asked
questions. In addition to this guide, you can call the customer
service numbers for information regarding the replacement
program.
