Hmm.. that is definitely odd. That crash doesn't tell me anything useful
unfortunately. Try redownloading it and see if that helps. Also, try the Athlon
Tbird binary and see if that works. There is a chance SSE may be disabled in the
BIOS.. that would cause it to act like a regular Athlon 2GHz without SSE and
possibly causing the crash. If the other binary (k7mmx) works this is most
likely the case. You should then consult your motherboard manual on how to
change this option (if you're not familiar with the bios already).
