Since the vast majority of K6-2/3s are sold in new computers, there is no need to worry about that Win 95 problem. Anyways, since Win 95 can't support SSE, you probably don't want to talk about it.

This is "too coincidental" to be a chance problem."

I don't see any correlation between the two. The Win 95 thing was a software timing glitch, and the Gateway thing is a hardware PCI bus glitch.
