PB, I have an el cheapo Celeron 333 and it locks up when I first got it. Because I was too busy at the time and did not realize the extent of the problems, I did not get it working prior it can be refunded. So I got stuck trouble shooting it myself. I kept getting internal errors. Then modem failed to communicate. I reinstalled Win 98 and it worked fine for a while. Within a week, the problems repeated. The same problems happened to my sister's computer. I purchased her with mine the same time. As I had suspected, it is not the CPU. It is the cheap integrated motherboard. Since I can not trouble shoot down to the transistor level, I replaced the motherboard, bought sound card, video card, and modem. The problems went away. Manufacturers are cutting corners to save money. Since K6 systems are also low end, it can not escape the pressure of cost cutting. Therefore, I don't think it is fair to blame AMD chips as the culprit. -KL
