The Slot A Tbird runs perfectly well on the AMD 750 Iron Gate chipset. It's the VIA KX133 chipset that didn't like it. I have a 900MHz Slot A Tbird and it run like a dream.
BTW With PowerDVD my K6-2 400MHz could just about play DVDs smoothly, an Athlon 600 should have no problem.

BTW The Iron Gate chipset was also used on some Alpha 21264 boards AFAIK.
