Titolo: Help Msde

Ho sviluppato un programma per la gestione di in punto vendita con base di
dati Sql. Il programma è ormai installato su circa 30 pc diversi e funziona
tutto bene.
Ho trovato un cliente che ha un Amd K6 e li non riesco ad instllarci MSDE e
quindi a far girare il software.
C'e qualcuno che possa aiutarmi?
Grazie.

quindi a far girare il software.
Ahia, sei incappato in un bel problema:
http://www.entegracorp.com/Ki4_Tech_Requirements.htm
 * Microsoft's MSDE requires Intel's full instruction set, 
so some older AMD/Cyrix chipsets may not install MSDE 
successfully.
Tra l' altro, questo e' uno dei tanti motivi per cui lavoro solo con
processori Intel :-(

3.  Make sure the machine is of the required spec to run the version of SQL you 
are installing.  I.e. if it is SQL EE then make sure you have NT EE.  For SQL 
7/MSDE you need a 100% PENTIUM compatible chip or an Alpha - older Cyrix/IBM 
chips that do not support the full pentium instruction set will not work.  With 
SQL 7 the setup routine will tell you the chip is no good, but MSDE will seem 
to install ok, but will AV on start-up.  More info in the "platform" faq entry.

Denis,
Q.  What are the minimum hardware/software requirements for SQL Server?
A.  That depends on whether you mean SQL Server "server" - i.e. the database 
itself, or SQL Server client tools to setup/maintain the database.  The below 
table lists the requirements for both.
To just access SQL Server itself as a client then the only requirement is to be 
able to run a db-lib/odbc/ole-db driver.  These are available for just about 
any platform - for non-Microsoft platforms you would need to get 3rd party 
drivers.
General notes on table :-
Where no hardware is mentioned then any hardware that runs the relevant version 
of the NT operating system will also run SQL Server.
Unless otherwise specified SQL will run on any type of NT - workstation, 
server, EE, etc. - though there may be licensing implications that you should 
check first.  With SQL 7.0 Microsoft are checking licensing restrictions in the 
SQL setup program for the first time - e.g. you are unable to install the 
Server edition onto NT workstation.
References to NT 5.0 are now replaced with Win2000.
If you run SQL Server on NT workstation then you are restricted by the maximum 
number of incoming connections that NT allows.  If you run SQL Server on a 
connection-limited or evaluation copy of NT then SQL Server will suffer the 
same restrictions.

(1) Requires a Dec Alpha or 100% Intel PENTIUM compatible.  It will not run on 
486 machines or some AMD/Cyrix/IBM processors - it needs to support CMPXCHG8B 
(Compare and Exchange 8 bytes) and RDTSC (Read Time-Stamp counter) 
instructions.  SQL 7.0 WILL run on Pentiums slower than 166Mhz, but Microsoft 
do not "officially" support it.  However, they are unlikely to refuse to take 
your fault call and fix the problem, unless it is directly performance related.
The following quote is from Cyrix - "Recently an issue with SQL Server 7.0 has 
been discovered with the non-MMX Media GX and the 6x86 processors. A fix for 
this issue can be obtained from Cyrix technical support at: 
tech_s...@cyrix.com
".  (However, I'm not aware that any such fix actually 
exists).
If you do manage to get SQL 7/MSDE installed on a non-100% compatible pentium 
then it will AV on start-up with the below messages.  Because the MSDE setup 
routine does not do as much checking as the SQL Server setup routines, it is 
most likely that you will see this problem with MSDE.
