Ben Bayer said: "I think power supply might be another possible culprit. Installing the K6 eliminated weird x-windows behaviour during boot-up, where the pixels appeared to scatter a bit, and fonts were fuzzy. I think the 145 W power supply may have been marginal for the P200 installed then, operating at 3.3 V. The K6 works at 2.2 V, and the problem is gone."
Ben: I think you may be right. I experienced strange problems when I upgraded to a K6-2 450. Most the time it wouln't even boot. Turned out the old 250W PS developed -5V @ .25A. A new 250W PS pumped out -5V @ .5A. The extra 1/4 amp made all the difference and box still works fine.
