	I ma currently test driving an AMD K6/200 in a
FIC PA-2005 motherboard and I am getting a lot of crashes.
(actually it looks like a reset, no cores, no console messages
just a spontaneous reboot). I am wondering if anyone has seen
the K6 do similar things.  The vendor says "The K6 does support
UNIX", but I am inclined to believe that he doesn't have a clue.
I am thinking I will return the K6 and get a Cyrix M2, any thoughts?
