Can anyone tell me which version of SuSE is the last to support the K6?
I used SuSE 8.0 Pro on a K6-II 500mhz with VIA MPV3 based board. It ran beautifully. Unfortunately the board was rubbish (FIC - don't buy), and when I decided to ad some more substantial graphics (nVidia TNT2), the machine kept freezing up and I eventually found out that the board couldn't supply enough power for the card. I also had SUSE 8.0 or 8.1, can't remember, on a K6-II 300mhz, overclocked, on a Gigabyte board with SiS or ALi chipset (can't remember either). This ran beautifully and stably as well and outperformed a 500mhz Celeron with intel board.... I'm pretty sure the kernel devs wouldn't have dropped support for the CPU in the meantime. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
