The K6-2/333 and Ali/100/AGP/ATX MB combination failed to run at 95MHz. The AGP ran at 83MHz for a night but failed. Now, I have to scale down the FSB to 75MHz to allow AGP to run. This AGP card ran fine at 112MHz for a month or two in a P-II/Asus system. What a piece of crap this ALi chipset is. Since the system failed to run at even 95MHz, am I observing the FSB speed limit of Socket-7? Without the GTL bus found in Slot-I, Socket-7 would have a lot of trouble to run at 100MHz. As a consumer, I should have paid $70 more to get a Celeran-A system! As an investor, I will keep continuing observing the sale of AMD chips through the retail distribution channel. When consumers are wise enough to realize that it does not pay to settle for Socket-7 is when I am cashing out. AMD needs to do something about this FSB stuff soon. Slot-A is fine with me. By the way, the version of the Ali chipset is exactly the same as you posted, M1541 xxx0000E. Time Traveler
