Dude, waasup!! Looks like Cyrix/NSM is still in the single digits!! Stockmeister, NSM 1:37PM 10 1/16 +5/16 +3.21% 885,900 Count em. That is two digits. Do you say with 100% certainity that all programs are well written. Furthermore, its clear that without knowing the exact nature of the problem that it does not matter wether software is well written or not, it could still fall over. there was an article posted yesterday which said that the K6-2 executes a timing loop in Win 95 faster than expected, causing a synchronization problem. A well written operating system would not rely on an expected delay length to synchronize critical events, but this is Microsoft after all. Synchronization is normally done with semaphores. It is not the hardware designers fault that some Windows 95 programmers are lazy. Scumbria
