Well based on all the reviews I looked at, the Epox MVP3G2 was the most highly rated (there was a Tyan also highly rated for speed/overclockability but Epox had the advantage where stability was concerned). My windows box has a k62-500 on that board and is problem free. My Linux box has the older, highly rated/popular, VA-503+ with a k62-300 which has also treated me well.

I can untar them with xvf and they are ok. Windows drops the 'extra' file extension when downloading. the file is still a .tar.gz but the .gz is missing. The file can be renamed with .gz extension and you will no longer have the error message. Well that is what I have found in my experience. I have also found that using netscape on Windows to download a .tar.gz file that when the dialog pops up asking where to save the file that adding .gz to the file name there will also solve the problem, again in my experience. -- Steve - Cheltenham, UK - In love and light we are In darkness we are no less
