Sleep issues appear to be related to the kernel, not the hardware. We have
tested systems where this happens on stock processors too. Research is
continuing in order to ascertain things definitively.

Yes and the new boards will be shipping soon.

See above. There are no 233 duals, only singles.

The 233 version works in all 100mhz and 133mhz motherboards. We'll
transition Series 100 and 133 for dual cpus only.
