I just bought one of those them there fancy shmancy CPU upgrades. I had an Intel 486/DX266 and upgraded to a AMD 586/133 from Ganberry via Micro Warehouse. For $140 I have a machine that runs about 2.5 x faster! And no problems with BSD! Yeah! I was a little worried having read reports of problems with Cyrix chips, but so far, so good! If I notice anything, I'll report it. Matt -- Matthew Gessner, Computer Scientist, Aristar, Inc. 302 N. Cleveland-Massillon Rd. Akron, OH 44333 Voice (330) 668-2267, Fax (330) 668-2961
