:  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.

I have been running on an AMD 486dx4/100 for several months now.  It has 
worked flawlessly.  I have  never had so much as a hiccup on it.  I have 
run OS/2, DOS, and am still running FreeBSD on it and it works great.
