Well, the three people I was talking to are running Linux. *grin* Considering how slow it is on a friend's Pentium, it can't be doing much more intensive stuff than dos does. :-) > The only other thing, is do these people happen to have recent AMD DXL2/66's, > that are really probably 80Mhz 5V die that failed AMD's final test and > where packaged as 66Mhz parts. Hmm. One has an AMD 66, and the other two have Intel 66's. > AMD has had to stop manufacturing there 66Mhz parts, but Intel has yet (and > probably wont) stop them from making the 80Mhz parts.
