G'day folks!
Great news (for me, anyway)! I'm finally getting to replace my worn-out
old Cyrix 300 CPU with an AMD K6-500.
The mobo will handle it OK, but I'm wondering about the kernel (standard
SuSE 6.4). Since it was installed with the Cyrix, will it automagically
handle the AMD? I know there is some sort of 'stepping routine' that the
Cyrix needs, and I wonder whether this is set in the kernel on install,
or is it called at bootup time only if needed?
Any ideas?
