GEX requires a Pentium or better chip. - There are two minor performance issues related to Windows 95 on the NexGen Nx586 processor. NexGen has addressed these issues by making its Windows CPU Identifier utility available from the NexGen World Wide Web site. You can download the VL and PCI versions of this utility from the following address: http://www.amd.com Additional query words: 1.00 hang crash freeze up stops stop pauses pause black screen nothing happens ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbGamesSearch kbZNotKeyword kbGEX Version : WINDOWS:1.0 Issue type : kbinfo ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
