I had some problems with spontanious reboots early on, but found this was linked to having a linear voltage regulator. The K6 draws 7.5 Amps according to AMD and this is enough that you must have a switching reulator. I have a K6/200, and it has been flawless for the past week although because of a flacky motherboard (Yes I have proof) it has been running w/ no external cache. I got the board replaced w/ an ASUS P55T2S4 today and I am planning to report back on it after running for a while. BTW, even without the 512k external cache it was pretty snappy. --John
