Hello Herbert,

I own an Athlon 500 with MSI MS-6167 since mid August.
So you are not the first, here...:-)

The Athlon is more PPro/PII/PIII compatible than K6/K6-2/K6-III, I
think.

Normally I only use

'-O -funroll-loops'

because I found with 'dgemm.c' (little bench from QuantX, the cool Alpha
company) that it is the fastest
for the moment.

For Mesa-3.1 beta3/CVS I use

setenv CFLAGS '-O6 -march=pentiumpro -pipe -malign-double
-mstack-align-double
-funroll-loops -DSHM'

for the libraries and then '-O -funroll-loops', again for the demo
programs.
Marc?

Both work with 2.2.xx and 2.3.xx for me.
