Re: bits and pieces
The MB is excellent, as should be the rest (I've got a 700 MHz on the K7V).
I don't know what type of memory you have but if it's one of the good grades

kernels on initial install, yes? The Athlon needs that.
FWIW someone on another list recently pointed me to an Athlon/Linux site
which discusses optimizing compiles for the Athlon processor, both with
suggested compiler flags using the standard gcc and (if you're willing to
try it) a revamp'd gcc made specifically for the Athlon. The site is
