Next revision... perhaps to include AMD K10 multiplier support per Falcosoft's suggestion? I hesitate to include CPUs beyond K8/Core2, as their chipsets no longer support Windows 98, hence they are not ideal for retro gaming, although they could still be used for DOS gaming if slowed down enough.

I remember that a friend of mine crushed an Athlon 1200 when it was brand new, it had a chipped corner and was dead. Many coolers of that era are really annoying. And AMD CPUs were a tad easier to break than Intel CPUs back then.
