Microsoft thinks they've solved the red ring of death. (link)

Recently, Nvidia screwed up some of their integrated circuits for a new series of GeForce chips. Basically, they used the wrong type of solder. It overheated, melted, and fried much too easily. The solution would have been to replace the chips, but that would have been costly. CPU makers instead implemented a solution in the BIOS which turned down the usage of the chipset, thus reducing the power consumption and heat (to say nothing of the performance), making the chipset last just long enough to put the machines out of warranty.
So... what software solution do you think Microsoft has found for the 360 that will resolve an inherent failure in hardware motherboard circuitry? I don't dare speculate.
