What could cause this? from realworldtech.com "the rumors regarding the new K6-2 core have been verified as an improvement to the Write Allocate feature. The intention has been to implement this on all processors, however there seems to be a problem at speeds below 380MHz. AMD apparently shipped some of the new cores to some of their customers unannounced at the 333MHz and 350MHz speeds. All of them had to be recalled because they would hang the system during boot. This seems to be a BIOS issue that needs to be addressed before the lower speeds can be released to the market. It is interesting to note that the 380/400MHz processors did not exhibit this problem."
