Yeah, I interpret Bill's post as "with a BIOS update, you can use a
CPU up to 2600". The question is, does that mean "a CPU that AMD call
2600" or "a CPU that you clock at 2600MHz"? Are we talking real units,
or AMD's silly "we think it's as good as this fast an Intel" marketing
thing?

I haven't tried this, but wouldn't a freedos boot floppy be the
easiest? (Or even an MSDOS one?) Unless the installer's now
Windoze-only, of course.
