Anyone have the dirt on the Evergreen AMD K6-2 upgrade? I'm running a
P133 also, and have seen the 333-400mhz AMD upgrades for $100-200US w/
BIOS upgrade. And then there's SO MANY motherboards around, I'm having
a difficult time choosing one. With all the graphics cards moving from
PCI to AGP, and ISA being phased out, what should I do? Testimonials
would be great! i.e: The best MB you've used and Linux compatibility.
As much info as I can get b4 I buy.
Thanks!
