[Gllug] Re: problems with Athlon cpu

[Jim Bailey]

Hi,

If you are running an Atholon you should have at least a 300 watt psu 
preferably 350 watts.

Sorry if you have already done this but check the hardware compatibility 
lists for the distro you use.  We had an Athlon 1.4 with a DDR ram set up 
which wouldn't boot from the standard Debian CD's.  we had to compile a 
custom boot disk and the whole thing now works pretty good now apart from,

<flame> poxy TNT video cards </flame>

A second word of advice though don't necessarily take the advice of the 
hardware manufacturer as their compatibility lists are not as up to date 
as the distro people.

Peace Jim
