Mine's set to 'Athlon/Duron/K7', and I have a 2 GHz Athlon. OTOH, it's
stock code, not Mandrake code.

How far does it get?

Try stripping down your machine to the bare necessities, just one stick of
RAM, video card, hard drive. I don't think that's the issue, but it could
be.
Modularize everything you can.
Try stock code.

Could be. Also could be a bug in some driver getting tickled by Athlon
code, but not by i686 code.
