I've been running a k6/225 (actually k6/200 but w/ bus speed of 75mhz) for a while now... once I replaced some faulty edo ram, things ran perfectly fine... I run with 48megs on my machine... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking P.O. Box 5693, 97405 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
