now now... xbox fans, is there really a place to laugh at another company?

Let me sum up the problems:

Nvidia hasn't determined the exact cause of the problem but said it relates to a packaging material used with some of its chips, as well as the thermal design of some laptops. Modern processors generate considerable amounts of heat.

To tackle the problem, the company is releasing a software driver that will cause system fans to start operating sooner and reduce the "thermal stress" on the chips. The driver has been provided to laptop makers directly, said Derek Perez, an Nvidia spokesman.

The products have been failing in the field at "higher than normal rates,"

 

 

Now, I'm no expert here.... doesn't that sound awfully like similar problem experienced by another product? Gosh, only if I could think of what the product is..... Help????

 

Why didn't you highlight the "packaging material" part? Is it because it doesn't support your theory? As far as I know, the RROD is not a fault with materials. You always manage to get the RROD into any topic ;)

 

I didn't try to, frankly, I didn't even mention RRoD, but to see certain console fans laughing at misfortune of another company for the same mistake their own console maker made, is just hypocritical.
