My current PC has an AMD K6-2 350 with 96Mb RAM and a 3-yr old PCI 4Mb graphics card. I don't play games or run maths-intensive software, and find it difficult to justify any higher spec. Even Win95 works quickly. The law of diminishing returns in my opinion has kicked in big style with CPUs. Maybe with Crusoe we'll see a return to common sense.

Seems that AMD processors, specifically the K6/2 series, seem to be very popular amongst the Linux community in general and the SuSE community in particular. Anybody know why this is? Not a complaint, only a question.
I think because they work well, and are cheaper. My present computer, whcih was a gift, came with oone and i was suprprised how well it does. And then Linux worked on it, Lot sof the lower-priced systems have them and they come from the most reliable manufacturers.
