Greetings Acid Heads,
Jon here. I'd like to hear any comments from any one who
has tried Acid 2.0 with an AMD K6-3 Processor.
Am I correct in assuming Acid is designed exclusively for
the Intel Processor ?
Salute,
Jon

You're kidding, right?! Even if the code uses the proprietary SSE
instruction set it will still work on an AMD processor. I use a
350MHz K6-2 and don't have any problems.

Don't buy into the hype... Intel is no longer the only player.

I have a 450 k6 and have never had any processor related problems
with any sound ap. AMD offers great value and I don't plan on buying
an intel chip any time in the near future.
