Unfortunately this the only XMD64 hardware I have. I've just ordered a
new LAN card (Intel) to replace the ancient Tulip based card. I should
consider Video too. My concern is that old hardware may not perform
correctly with faster processors. I know design specs say it should,
but if the design is marginal, it may depend on CPU behavior that was
typical with hardware 'back in the day', ;)

Thank you.

I'm testing now with APIC off. But I'm confused a bit by how to do
this. In varrious places I see 'apic=off' or 'noapic' and 'nolapic' as
it is recommended in the Ubuntu boot help for Via chip sets.

thanks,
