One goes both ways, though they both have the ATX connectors.

 RJT> Left it run for a few hours,  and I got a total of close to 250

I have one of those, L2 cache though.  I just went into the BIOS and
disabled it.  It's a little slower, but still usable.

 RJT> had only 16K of L1 cache as opposed to the 64K that the AMD
 RJT> part had,  and *very* different memory speeds indicated.

Yep, that was the AMD's edge on the Intel chips.  All the clock
multiplying tends to bottleneck the busses.

 RJT> Whoops!  Just tried it again,  after letting sit there off for a while,
 RJT>  now  it tries to boot,  I get "loading..." (from the floppy?)
 RJT> and then it resets and starts all over again.  Still sick.
 RJT> Only this time it got past the point it'd stopped at before
 RJT> and now displays the "System Configuration" box and is

Can you get into setup?  Maybe try to reset to the defaults.


... Gee! How'd you ever get it to do THAT?
