RE: Are you saying that the STANDARD DRIVERS - the ones that work with the K6, the K6-2, the Kmart 63, the Pentium, the Pentium MMX, the Pentium II, the Pentium III - SUDDENLY DON'T WORK on the K7 ?

Yes, that's exactly what he is saying. You know,, sort of like that BX chipset, PCI bridge, I740 video chip, USB, AGP, SCSI Ultra 2, and other assorted new things that wouldn't work with the standard windows drivers at the time of their release. OBTW didn't some of those things belong to Intel? I didn't think Intel released things that required special drivers and that weren't already packaged inside the current versions of Windows! Was KNI support in the current version of Windows at the time KNI was released? Seems like I remember something about a wait for some new Direct X drivers or something? Hummmmm???

But yes, you are correct.
