Chuck, re:Doug:<<Compatibility issues were somewhat common, definitely not impossible to get around, but definitely annoying.>>

<Like I said before, what you seem to be talking about is such a small part of the business, it does not matter. It may matter to you but it didn't matter to the OEMs who successfully sold many millions of K6s.>

I agree with you here, half the Intel CPU's are being sold with VIA chipsets and there are still some compatibility problems. My Intel camera, for example, says "designed to work with Intel chipsets." I wonder why? The drivers seem to discriminate against VIA, they work with an old K6-2 ALi Aladdin chipset system just fine.
