 Dear Netters,
 We have a plan to get a linux box equipped with AMD-K6 for Gaussian 98
 calculations.  However, it seems that the recommended blas library and
 Portland Fortran compiler are optimized for Intel CPU only (I may be
 mistaken saying so).  I would be grateful if anyone could share his/her
 experience concerning the following thoughts
 i. pay more money to buy Intel processor
 ii. go on with our plan (assuming that the performance of Linux/AMDK6-G98
 won't be very different from Linux/IntelPII-G98)
 iii. keep the AMD but switch to NT/G98W instead of linux/G98
 Many thanks,
 Jerry
