Bruce - Re: "A week after it launched its new processors, AMD notified customers of incompatibility between its faster chips and some versions of Windows 95 that can prevent a system from booting up properly.

The problem is caused by a software timing loop and results in a user having to reboot the system, an AMD spokesman said. But the glitch is limited to a small number of users who have upgraded their CPUs to 350MHz and higher and have an OEM version of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 95, he said "

What a LAUNCH !

Re: "However, a software patch is available from AMD's Web site at
amd.com, the
spokesman said."

How do Proud New Owners of the 400 MHz K6-2 download the "patch" if they can't boot up their systems?
