Question

Latest and Greatest chips from AMD (K6-2 CPUs) Won't Run Windows 95!

Answer

This question was answered on June 15, 1999. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

If Windows 95 is installed on a new 366, 380 or 400 MHz K6-2 equipped PC, the machine may be incapable of booting, producing instead an error message like: Device IOS failed to initialize Windows Protection Error. You must reboot your computer. An advisory posted on the AMD web site at http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/k623d/win95_update_k6.html describes the problem and fixes that are available!
