Paul, Sounds like the OEM's are wary of these chips. It is too fast for Windows 95. How come Xeon doesn't execute the timing loop as quickly as K6-2? Sounds like an Intel performance problem to me. Scumbria

Paul, you joker! Re: <Then Why is the News Media reiterating this problem?> 'cause the reporter needed filler. Bruce posted an article that was positive wrt AMD and contained a reference to obsolete software that had a defect that couldn't be previously tested. When the software problem was established Microsoft fixed it. I assume that you could manage to get a computer with a timing problem running if you made it yourself, which makes your questions rehetorical at best. My guess is that you just want to waste electrons. In that mode, I'll be responding to your future AMD posts on the INTC site with a full copy of your AMD site post. tgptndr
