can be found from the AMD web site (http://www.amd.com). Most of the
time you can get 95 stable enough to run it...the trick is to actually
get it to go into safe mode. Easiest way to do that is to actually

There's a timing problem where W95 OSR2 fails if the K6 is faster than
333. You can find more about this on either the AMD or the MS web sites.

Hi David,
U [unfortunately] have to build up a Win95[OS2R] computer
for my daughter one of these days and I know it is 'a bit' off topic
but
what did you mean by 'the Win95SR2.0 & AMD-K6 disasters"?
I probably will use an AMD K6 processor in the box.
Will it be a bad combination with Win

I honestly think the reason is that Microsoft bases its (in)operating
systems on the Intel chips and have been known to do dumb things in the
past like base I/O t
I have an Athlon on an MSI-6167 board, I740 Video Excel AGP card, stock
standard IDE hard drives and two CD (one ROM, other RW/RECORD). I have
had absolutely no problems, in fact I simply clicked in my hard drive
and Linux booted without a glitch...Windows on the other hand required
four reinstal
Thanks to all those who responded.
Sounds like that is one hot little chip. I may have to investigate
getting one for myself.
Thanks again.

It's not really processor specific, but specific to the IDE chip sets
you're using. However, a board for an advanced processor like the athelon
is going to have an advanced IDE chip set as well.
I think your best bet is the deja archives in both cases.

sorry, I should have mentioned that linux only saw 64MB of RAM, so I had
to tell it about the other 192MB :)
So yes, the MB has an issue there, but no others that I have noticed.

I'm in a similar situation (except no Athalon on the horizon)... IIRC, The
HCL at Red Hat's web site claims that some Athalon MB's are partially
incompatible with Linux but the chip itself is no problem.

128 megs ram, 32meg video just watching it do a memory test in less

For the most part, it's just an x86. However, you should run I think it's
2.2.12 minimum, maybe it's 2.2.13, but around that anyway. Devel kernels
from 2.3.30 on should be ok to. There's just a little funky stuff to get
the chip to really sing that's in those kernels. You should go to deja and
