I think maybe you're doing something wrong if you can't get the CPU to run stable without underclocking it. We've also got some AMD K62 350mhz boxes, and one or two 266mhz K62's as well. None of them have given us any trouble yet. To tell you the truth, performance/stability of a K62 is far more economical than the PII/PIII, at least it has been for us. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
