It's quite possible that I just don't know what I'm talking about. I read in a motherboard guide that "does the MB support 6x86, K6, etc...can they supply the voltage they want, do their BIOS enable their chip features" or something like that. It's quite possible that the "features" part was referring to the 6x86 only. Now that I looked for it, I can't find any specific references to them. However, "http://www.amd.com/K6/k6faq/k6faq.html#4" says: "What are the AMD-K6(TM) motherboard design requirements? What about chipsets and BIOS support? The AMD-K6(TM) processor, Socket 7 bus compatible by design, enables PC manufacturers and resellers to deliver affordable, top-to-bottom PC solutions. For existing Socket 7 motherboards, certain modifications may be necessary to ensure proper voltage settings and BIOS support." ^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm not sure what this means. Satoshi
