I'm running a K7 kernel, and I'm not noticing anything different. Now if X, qt, & gtk were K7-optimized, that would be a different story, I expect. Most of the K7-optimizations, as i recall, are floating-point, which is avoided in the kernel. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When it comes down to desperation, You make the best of your situation.
