There have been isolated complaints about ChessBase software on AMD-K6 boxes (yours is maybe the 4th or 5th I've heard), but not enough to panic about.

I plan to buy a new machine next year and I'll definitely buy one with an Intel chip. -- Steve Lopez The Chess Kamikaze Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/ludekdudek/ The Chess Kamikaze Club: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/chesskamikazes
