I think it only gets hit with this with certain CPUs.  Mine just happens
to be one of them for the 770T.  My main rig, which only has a slightly
newer CPU, is not hit by this. 

I'm just surprised that it is still not fixed somehow.  It sounds like
upstream tho not Gentoo.  Us Gentoo folks just happen to be hit by it
since we compile our own packages. 

I'm just glad to get it installed.  At least if something happens to
this main rig, I got something to use.  It's gonna be slow tho.  Half
the CPU cores, half the memory.  Beats nothing tho.  At least I can
still watch TV.  O_O

Thanks to all.  :-D
