Intel X25-M (SSD)
This is what is strongly suggested by an article published in The Register indicating that the Santa Clara giant would have suspended the shipments of its 2nd generation of X25-M SSD drives, because of a data corruption issue. We are waiting for a firmware update to correct this problem from what appears to be a tremendous product with low power, high performance and nice price.
Caution seems justified here.

This is more or less what has to be concluded from reading the articles currently published about the compatibility (more supposed than real) between the new AMD 4-core processor and the existing AM2-socket motherboards. But it seems that AMD will have to be a little more patient.
This is not a very good omen for the financial come-back of Intel’s main competitor that is still depending a lot of this year’s launch of 3- and 4-core processors.
