Just to blow in the same horn as many others - take a AMD K6 I use a AMD K6-200-MMX (MMX ... what a joke ;-) and it works great. But don't forget to get as much RAM as you can buy. And don't forget the modern cachable area problem - most Intel chipset boards today can only cache 64 MB RAM. The RAM above 64 MB is uncached and very very slow. I had' 88 MB RAM on my GA586HX board with only the half tag RAM and so only 64 MB cachable area for a few weeks, and after putting the other half tag RAM on the board, the machine is much faster. (400.64 BogoMips are not so bad I think, but my other machine with its AMD 5x86-120 chip is no good comparison ;-) Buy Daniel -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Gross eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hollarstrasse 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] D-85053 Ingolstadt, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't compare floating point numbers solely for equality. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
