Let's put it this way, I've posted a NUMBER of items to the -stable list over the last 2-4 weeks as I've fought this one. I can't get a CPU/BIOS/MB with a K6-2/550 on it to SUCCESSFULLY/RELIABLY make world. I'm tired of fighting it. The *SAME MEMORY STICK* runs just fine on this Shuttle AV61 motherboard with Intel P-III 600E CPU. I can't get a more accurate description from the techs. if you want to trouble shoot it, be my guest, but I can't give any more time to it. I've played with ALL the BIOS settings on both a HOT-591/P and a HOT-597 Shuttle board with the K6-2/550, and also TONS of Kernel settings, nothing gets a successful repeatable MAKE WORLD. Therefore I went, reluctantly, and at a $200 cost, back to Intel. I resent your comment that it's memory or processor (read the threads I've posted recently).
