RE:"Remember the 400 MHz K6-2's not booting Windows 98 on Gateway machines?"... Come on Paul, the K6-2-Gateway problem was a "slow boot" not a "non boot" due to a specially made Microstar motherboard that needed a BIOS tweak. It was fixed with a BIOS flash. At times you embelish your posts with FUD. JIm

Paul - RE: "Remember the 350 MHz K6-2 not booting Windows 95? Remember the 400 MHz K6-2's not booting Windows 98 on Gateway machines? AMD shipped these dawgs anyhow." The Win 95 glitch was in the software. The Gateway glitch was a motherboard problem. You KNEW that. Yet you continue to post the wrong thing, or was this another instance of voluntary selective memory?

Paul, Re <<Remember the 350 MHz K6-2 not booting Windows 95?>> Microsoft problems and they fixed it. AMD has not changed that chip. Re <<Remember the 400 MHz K6-2's not booting Windows 98 on Gateway machines?>> Once again irrelevant to AMD. That was a mother board problem which once again GATEWAY took measures to fix it. AMD's chip has not changed. Re <<Where's the Kmart 63's ? Not at Fry's, eh?>> It is at the Fry's I go to. It was there today. Paul you are really gasping for air. Mani
