	I just tried to swap the CPUs from my Venturis 590 and my Intel Multia (100 MHz) and experienced a similar behaviour as the base noter. When starting Windows 95, it would hang (reliably) after initializing the serial ports. The last lines of bootlog.txt are always: Dynamic load device lmouse.vxd Dynamic load success lmouse.vxd Dynamic load device C:\WINDOWS\system\serial.vxd Dynamic init device SERIAL Dynamic init success SERIAL Dynamic load success C:\WINDOWS\system\serial.vxd Dynamic load device C:\WINDOWS\system\serial.vxd Dynamic init device SERIAL Dynamic init success SERIAL Dynamic load success C:\WINDOWS\system\serial.vxd With the 90 MHz CPU, the boot continues with DEVICEINIT = VKD Win 95 boot fine in safe mode with the Pentium 100. It just refuses a full boot. Was this issue ever resolved ? Thanks, Hans. PS: yes, I bridged the jumper which changes the bus speed from 60 to 66 MHz. PPS: re .1 - how can I recognize the difference between a VRE and a STD version? The CPU says A5304654CD A4 A80502-100 SX963/SSS and the letters IPP are etched into the bottom of the chip.
