   I'm thinking about upgrading my DX2/66 motherboard (Intel CPU) to an
   AMD DX4 120MHz board (I can't make the Pentium jump yet because of all
   the VLB cards I have). Intel's high end DX4 runs at a 100MHz. Has
   anybody who runs multiple OS ' (or heck, just FreeBSD which is just
   fine) have any bad experineces with AMD CPUs, or know of any
   incompatibility problems? I appreciate the info.

My AMD 486DX2/80 has been running NetBSD just great for almost a year.

They're excellent chips at a great price.  Highly recommended.
