interest.

AMD users go through roof at $35 fix for K6-2 crash

Users have reacted in disbelief and fury that they will have to pay $35
for
 a
software patch which will fix problems they have with K6-2 processors.
(Story: AMD K6-2s crash with Win 95)

AMD is not making the patch, which fixes a problem in the Win95
operating
environment,..................clip......

Hi, Thanks for this note.  This is the first I have heard about this.  Is
there a way you could provide an address for more information?  Like
what? how? when? where?
I briefly looked at AMD's site and also downloaded the patch from altx86
but what else should I know?  I am currently running a K6 233 but am
laying plans to build a K6-2 300 so am concerned.
I hope this isn't a problem posting this to the list.
thanks for any more info.
