Steve, I plan on putting a 6x86MX system together very shortly. The CPU chip just came in. Its a "Boxed PR200". The "Boxed 6x86MX" is the 66MHz 2.5x clock or 166MHz parts rated to operate at 2.9 Vdc. I ordered the motherboard yesterday, but its not due in until Monday. I plan on using the Shuttle HOT-603 motherboard with 1MByte cache. I got 64M of SDRAM, so I plan on clocking the chip at 83MHz x 2 at least. I hope to be able to run the chip at 3.2 Vdc and 83MHz x 2.5 . The rest of system is not due to arrive until Monday or Tuesday. IF someone has taken the chance to overclock at 208MHz please comment on the performance. I will get back to you on Monday! Bob

Steve, I did oc my 6x86MX-PR200 (66x2.5) to 208Mhz (83x2.5) and run Winstone97 once on Asus SP97-V. However, it won't allow me to the benchmark application repeatly. The benchmark ratings on M2-208Mhz are very impressive. The BIOS showed PR266. HOWEVER, I have difficultied to identify the performance difference between M2-208Mhz and M2-166Mhz on 83Mhz bus speed with my nake eye. Both of them are extremely responsive to my keyboard/mouse commanding (unlike the slow Intel processors). If you haven't bought the board yet, get M2-166Mhz and Auss SP97-V with 128MB RAM (its max cacheable range). It would serve you very well with whatever application.
