Re: AMD, Cyrix and 2.2r don't mix
Hey Marc,
Well, I am sorry I did leave out that extra 2. It was 2.2r2, I apologize.
To answer your last question, I didn't use any boot options. I am using a
Athlon 1.1 ThunderBird on a Asus A7V motherboard.
The laptop I tried was a Presario 1220 w/ a Cyrix CPU 200 mhz or so MMX
enabled I think
