Downloading a version fit for an AMD Athlon

Post by paulhar » Sat Aug 19, 2006 6:00 am

I've got an Athlon FX60 but the default download version crashes on startup. Having searched the forum I notice other people having issues on old cpus plus AMD chips and the solution offered has been to download the i686 version. However I'm struggling to find a download link; I've checked sourceforge but all the "final" versions are a single image, it's just the files in updates that appear to have i686 editions.

So - can someone spell out the path to success with AMD cpus - e.g. "use this url" or "use this url, then apply this update url, it'll crash the first time but don't worry" etc.

[To the program author - might be nice to update your wiki / have the non-optimised version as the default and people who want faster can download the faster version]
