The glx stuff did crash my non-abit AMD K6-2 box just as happily. Dont count
too much on those when you determine if your board is stable. Glx was very
crashy when I tried it.

I am running with APIC now. Things seem to be working, though I rebooted
yesterday to change kernel so I can use USB better.. I ran with "noapic" for
a while but it seems to be stable also without.

The 2.2.15pre17 was a happy run of 25 days. I'll see with this 2.4.0test1
how it works out. I _do_ get a ton of APIC errors on kern.log though so
something is full of crap on this board.. 2.2.x just doesnt log those..
Oh, and I think I run the QQ_01 bios.
