I've been running on a AMD K6-2/450 for 6 months, works great.
Windows 95, however, will not. Or should I say the original End User
version of Windows 95. This was the infamous AMD vs Microsoft bug
from a couple years back, basically a timing routine in Win95 barfs as it
can't handle the clock speed of the AMD. Only solution is an upgrade to
either OEM Win95 and apply a patch or upgrade to 98. The funny part is
that I didn't know this for several months after I upgraded my dual boot
machine, as I hadn't needed Windows in that long. :)
