Go up one level in this thread

AMD K6-3 will be discontinued, replaced by K6-2+ (which will have less cache!).
AMD K7 (Athlon) has many compatibility problems now, and stability is the main
problem (perhaps you are a "general gamer" too, uh? - so you'll probably want to
get your 3D graphics card running 100%, but... what so if it crashes your system
_very _often? ). The K7M ASUS mainboard seems to be the best for K7, though.
Maybe what only matters to you is CHESS, so... get a dual board! Cheap option:
Abit BP6, dual celerons (same speed and specs!) and... Linux or WinNT/Win 2000
(oops... Win 2000 Server... some $$$ more...). My opinion is that K6-2 is
already dead.
If you want to be secure of what happens to your PC (and do not want to
overclock), buy a good mainboard for a Pentium III.
