Q. Do I need any special motherboard drivers for proper installation of my
AMD Athlon processor and motherboard? If so, what are they and where do I get
them?
A. Yes. To date there are two drivers designed for motherboards for proper
installation and performance of your operating system(s) and hardware with the
AMD Athlon processor. The motherboard drivers should have been included on the
floppy disk or CD_ROM that was included with your motherboard. Table 3 shows
the versions of these drivers as of August 6th, 1999.
Table 3. AMD Athlon™ Processor Motherboard Drivers

Note: These drivers should be loaded immediately after your operating system is
installed and before you load your video drivers for your specific video card.
