Hello,
happy new year to every one :)
My question is if an AMD K5 has the same instruction set as an Intel Pentium
? Or is it just a 'pushed-up' 486 ?
I just set up a pc with spare parts, that's the K5 i'm talking about. First
i noticed that Netscape 4.72 always crashed at a given moment (always during
scrolling), then the computer just seems to freeze, and i can reboot... I
installed Opera and that works just fine. I also tried to install a game
that needs a pentium, and it always fails during installation, though in
that case the computer doesn't freeze.
So i'm wondering if this is caused by a difference in instruction set
between K5 and Pentium ?
The K5 has 32Meg RAM and runs Win95 (first version).
thanks,
piwi
