As a little aside...  The latest Beta Kernel - 2.3.51 has optimisation for
the superb Athlon.
Yes - be careful at this release it is unstable, so you probably won't get
any clear idea if the optimisation is worth it.

Subject: [SLE] AMD Athlon

I recently bought the Asus K7M (600 Mhz Athlon) and have not had any
trouble,
except for a stupid BIOS upgrade.  I had both Win98 and linux already 
installed and just swapped out the motherboard.  Win98 asked for a bunch of
drivers, and eventually came on line, while linux booted the first time.
