My system is exactly that except for 512 MG. It looks stable and M$ runs fine. Still hearing that there were problems I had it installed by the shop and memtested it first thing, which should take the bite out the risk. Only trouble I'm having is driver support for the sis900 lan, which I would like to get working. The other is probably unrelated: SuSE's sabotaging their own FTP install/upgrade. Red Screen of Death (RSOD) (TM). I'd like to hear comments on these issues from others. Martin On November 26, 2001 2:54 PM, Cleary_Mike@emc.com [SMTP:Cleary_Mike@emc.com] wrote:
Hmm. I had been thinking lately of getting a K7S5A w/ an Athlon XP 1.6 GHZ & 256MG of DDR memory. Although you said that XP's are "generally" OK, is there still some risk here? Any other thoughts? Opinions?

The thing is, you have only a very slight chance to be affected. Durons, Athlons under 1GHZ and XP's are generally OK, but the Athlons above 1 Ghz are more than 50% affected. It also depends on the mb revision, rev0 is unaffected, increasing to rev3, which is mostly affected.
It seems some resistor is wrong reluslting in data corruption.
