AMB chips tend to run hotter than Intel chips, so you may want to invest in
high quality cooling solutions and a good power supply. However, there have
been reports of overclocking Duron chips as high as 1 GHz
(www.tomshardware.com) using the A7V motherboard.
Myself, I can't post my chip at
Dan,
Appreciate it you can share your experience when you install LM 7.1.

I built an athlon system with a NICE AK72 (AOpen mobo) and a 700.
Running 7.1, no problems. I DID buy a nice, LARGE, dual-fan
heatsink and replaced the stock version. The chip, even not
overclocked, runs hotter'n hell. Hottest chip I've ever had,

I'm running 2 K7 systems, both are great. My new one has an asus A7V
motherboard with a duron (the processor slot config allows for upgrading
later). I was very impressed by the A7V, it has lots of goodies like 'wake
on LAN', lots of hardware feedback, and BIOS settings to control all the
fans.

Yes, except for SSE.. Most programs dont use SSE. Many video card drivers
do, but those drivers also have 3DNow optimizations as well.

There are a few video cards etc that die when you try using AMD rather

Yes, except AMD doesn't have SSE, then again Intel doesn't have 3DNOW.

I don't know, but I'd go with AMD's reccommendations...
