Hello Robert. An AMD K6-2 will have no problems. An AMD K7 Athlon Slot A(from 500mHz
to 700, I think) there will be no problems. However, if you use an AMD K7 Athlon
Thunderbird(newer athlons, 600mHz and up, I think, made for Socket A, but adaptable to
Slot A) Will have some(easily correctable, I have heard) problems. Will be detected
as a PIII at install and PIII kernel will be used. you will have to reboot and use a
rescue disk to install the 386 kernel. I have heard that the new kernels correctly
support the Athlon Thunderbirds though. I don't know about the new Durons, but
suspect that since they are also Socket A, will have to do the same as for the Athlon
Thunderbirds.
Hope this helps you, Jason Pierce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
