Just want to mention that if you go to Macromedia's site (or look in your

user's manual), you will notice that the system requirements of Flash and

many other Macromedia programs specifically state that a Pentium chip is

required for their Windows software -- the requirements do not say "Pentium

compatible."  


This is not to say that Athalons will give you problems with Flash.

However, if you search Macromedia's TechNotes for "Cyrix" you will come

across problems which have occurred in the past due to MMX compatibility

problems on non-Pentium Windows systems.  Something to check for when making

a processor choice; Pentium-compatible chips are not 100% identical.
