Thanks for the information Jim.

I can't believe that the Intel zealots jump all over you for giving out information that solves an Intel incompatibility problem---or do they really want to add an inventory of i740's to the glut of 166MMX chips still out there!

Hey with such a diverse inventory of bummer chips they could probably assemble an entire computer and ship it to Sudan or Laos, thus reviving the Intel computer PC name that all of us miss seeing. (Like the clothes we donate to Goodwill, Intel could donate their inventory and raise the technical level of the school systems in any number of Third World countries just with its mistakes.)

If the Intel zealots would like to start a Foundation and become do-gooders instead of paranoids, I'd be happy to contribute some of my profits from AMD.

Come-on Intel bigots, I'll change the name to Intel heroes.
