The K6 should work fine on a kernel compiled as pentium Pro. This implies the level of pipelining for instruction ordering. > >Wowie, just a bit of time and my PC won't have any >Intel, nor Microshit >on >it. ;-))) I don't think we should consider Intel as being a 'Bad-Guy'. Intel is now supporting Linux, they want their cpu's to run other OS's besides those from MS. Some time ago it appears that MS was blackmailing Intel not to support other software or they would shift to Motorola (or something). Now Intel is telling MS where to go. I personally think that MS OS has it's place. For many ap's MS is the right choice. BUT .... WE MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE! (My computer is dual boot to run those apps that currently only run under Dos or Windows. And the list of such apps is getting smaller) My computer runs a K6-233. Because it cost less than an equal with an Intel cpu. But if the price were right, I'd go with the P2. (Actually I'd like to find an Alpha cheap so I can move to 64 bits.) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
