system from starting up normally, and is planning to recall a certain
amount of those chip sets from system vendors and channel partners, a
spokesperson confirms. The 915 G/P and 925X chip sets, formerly known as
Grantsdale and Alderwood, have a flaw in the I/O controller on the chip
sets that can prevent a PC from starting normally, says Howard High, an
Intel spokesperson. The incident is similar to Intel's recall of 820
chipsets in May 2000, but with a less serious impact. In the 2000
recall, Intel paid customers US$110-130 for each defective product and
recalled all-related materials. The company is likely to implement a
similar remedy this time

Good day to be a consumer with so much healthy competition!
