Re: [MLUG] Athlon motherboards

FIC SD-11 motherboard works wonders for my AMD K7 550MHz processor.
And you don't need to clear anything. Only annoying thing about it's BIOS
is when you have a boot loader in your MBR, System Commander or LILO, 
unless this setting is disabled, you'll get a red text based screen 
saying it might be a possible MBR Virus. Other wise, I love it..!
