DSA, re:"Do what a reasonable person do, buy INTC and be happy" Excellent advice. I wonder why AMD didn't catch this before releasing the part? Last time I looked Windows 95 was a rather important piece of software owned by a few million folks. Perhaps they saved time and resources by just not testing at all? Jeff

Dr. Doctor - Re: "Do what a reasonable person do, buy INTC and be happy." Been there. Done that. Re: "Explain why Win-98 is ok? " Probably because the K6-2 works with some software but not with others. I think potential K6-2 customers should be aware that AMD's K6-2 may have hidden problems that lead to problems. Perhaps the 350 MHz works with Windows 98 but not Windows 95. That makes it compatible with only 50% of the software - on an admitedly crude sample basis. What other software out there is the K6-2 incompatible with? Paul
