I've heard such rumours, but I have a K6-2 300, and it hasn't given me any
trouble at all so far. If anything, some of the newer motherboard
settings have been hard to figure out (yes, it's the 100 MHz bus). To
qualify this, I'm not using my machine for anything commercial, so I
haven't had to depend on it being up all of the time. Anyone else have
any insight?
