AFAIK the K7 will run on a pentium cpu, running the correct kernel version allows you to take advantage of the powersavings and any other of the flags set for the cpu. If you put it into a different box it still works, but some kernel features, i.e. powernow governor throttling won't work. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
