A consideration might be the flags supported by the kernel for the cpu. AMD cpu's have a few things that, i.e., intel doesn't have, different power savings etc. If you do a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' look at the 'flags' entry. I don't know if the same feature from a k7 will work with the k8, I would give it a try though. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
