All machines are VIA chipsets, tyan and epox manufacturers. sometimes the system will crash while in xwindows and leave my video all screwed up forcing a reboot. Windows seems to exibit strange behavior also like locking up very often, failed reinstalls. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alfred Perlstein" To: "Mike Bush" Cc: ; Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 2:28 PM Subject: Re: fatal 3D-Now? > * Mike Bush [000405 13:07] wrote: > > CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (501.14-MHz 586-class CPU) > > Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping = 12 > > Features=0x8021bf > > AMD Features=0x80000800 > > RAM: SDRAM 64MB > > DRIVE: 1 6GB SCSI > > > > Ok, I've replaced my CPU and ram.
