Rather interesting thread.... "LostCircuits BBS: CPU: Athlon is simply great By Wolfgang on Saturday, October 9, 1999 - 04:24 pm: when it comes to stability. On both the MSI and the ASUS mobo I haven't had any crashes or Bluescreens. Totally untypical PC-feeling- really. In the beginning of Super7 there were numerous incompatibilities, nothing left on this cool platform. Nice job AMD! By WaterCooler on Saturday, October 9, 1999 - 04:52 pm: I 2nd that. That is, if you stay below 111MHz (for me) FSB on the Asus. :( By SDTom on Saturday, October 9, 1999 - 05:42 pm: Yes, I have noticed that also. The K7 is very stable. It's hard to describe, but it has a totaly different feel to it. Smooth Tom By JoshMST on Saturday, October 9, 1999 - 11:08 pm: The Athlon has been a wonder for me to say the least. I started on the Super 7 soon after it came out and was used to crashes all the time. I just accepted it and went on. Now that I have had the Athlon running all this time with no problems, it is almost shocking and amazing to me. Of course I really can't complain about Super 7, as the Tyan S1598 was relatively trouble free when compared to products of a year ago." --- Why is the Athlon so stable?
