If you are running OSR 2.1, you may tell it from by checking "USB Supplement
to OSR2" in the list of installed program of Add/Remove program tool under
Control Panel, and checking for version 4.03.1212 of the Ntkern.vxd file in the
Windows\System\Vmm32 folder.
Q: What is the performance improvement of AMD K6 and Cyrix M2?
A: Following is the compare table of the new generation CPU.
DRAM : 64MB EDO
HDD : Quantum Fireball 1280AT
VGA : Matrox Millennium VGA, 4MB, 1024x768 24bit, 85Hz.
OS : Windows 95 4.00.950

You can see that K6-233 is better than PP/MT-233 on Business Winstone97,
but the High-End graphic Winstone97 is almost the same.
Note that, if you over-clock K6 to 250M (83.3MHz*3), it could be the fastest
socket -7 system among all. But please be reminded, it is your own risk to
over-clock, it may cause system unstable.
Q: When can we have real jumperless mainboard?
A: PnP had achieved the goal of jumperless add-on card, but true jumperless
mainboard still has some technical concerns. For example, CPU clock and
voltage do not have standard interface. Currently, the so called jumperless
mainboard is actually depends on the BIOS to detect or manually set the CPU
clock and voltage. If the setting is wrong, it will cause system unstable or
damage after long time use. The other disadvantage is, because some of the
