My question is; Is it a good choice? Does it work well |under FreeBSD? How is it compared to Intel? | |At least it's cheap. Thanks in advance. I've also been watching for K6 posts and have read reports on the lists of folks running K6s successfully. Specifically I recall reports on running the 166Mhz @ 2.5 * 75Mhz as well as @ 2.5 * 83Mhz. There was also at least one report of running the 200Mhz. ...all on the board I have: P55T2P4 v3.1. You might want to grep the mailing list archives: at www.freebsd.org/search.html for details. Hopefully they've rebuilt the index recently. Randall Hopper
