MMX support can depend on what motherboard you are running... While all K6 chips are MMX enabled, if you have anything but the last couple of generations mb, then *it* won't support MMX and you're SOL. I run a K6-200 on a ASUS P55T2P4, but because I have an "old" 2.3ver board, and not 3.0 or above, I do not have MMX support. This is straight from ASUS tech support. I would assume other mbs are similar. K6 is a GREAT chip, though. On Wintune I get results VERY comparable to Pentium 233s. hmy28@pacific.net.sg wrote in message <34825C0A.4028@pacific.net.sg>... >I have a AMD K6 200 on Windows 95 OSR2.
