Thats not the chip you think it is. The one just released is on a 400mhz bus - there is an existing 3.06 ghz chip that has been out for a few months and works fine.
 
i think it refers to some batch of production that got flaws.
 
I think get an XP1700+ and overclock it to 3000+ levels. Seriously, why pay more for faster when u can pay less !
