Why do 350 MHz and 400 MHz and 450 MHz Pentium II's have no problem on the exact same software? Paul, My first guess would be a speedpath, which can be avoided by the patch. Chances are that the vast majority of K6-2 350 boxes are shipping with Windows 98, which apparently does not exhibit the problem. It is also possible that it really is a timing related software bug, which is only exhibited through a specific series of events that does not occur in PII. I wouldn't bet on it though. It certainly does not bode well for the quality of 400 MHz parts. Scumbria
