I have been watching the -hardware list, and quite a few people are having problems with the new K6-200's, but that can also be because of non-correct settings on the MB. The Intel 166-MMX is fast, though you pay for it...If you want a decent processor for the buck, I would reccommend looking in to the Cyrix line. We run three 150+'s from a while back and they perform well and we haven't had any problems with them. I heard the 200+'s are a good chip, but you need a good motherboard for them.. The Asus you have should handle it no problem. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind having a new Intel 200-MMX, but I just can't see spending that much for it yet. As you noticed, I am a little biased for the Cyrix chips. We have had pretty good luck with them, so we like them. Just my $.02 -Gary Margiotta TBE Internet Services http://www.tbe.net
