Hi Sam,

   What is BIOS? I am considering buying a K6-2 soon. It the BIOS setting
somewhere in the Prefs setting, like where you set the fonts and
resolution settings. Some people argue in favor of the Pentium II. I just
don't want to run into a lot of programs that don't like the K6-2
processor.

like K6-2.
