John,, I'm not absolutely sure about the voltage of the K6-266 mobile chip, but I think I saw an article a few weeks ago that the mobile 266 was based on 2.1 volts (8 watts). I can't remember where the article came from and don't have a link. The article was comparing power use of the Mobile Tillamook, Mobile K6 266, and Mobile Deschutes (3.8 watts, 8 watts, and 8 watts). The Tillamook was based on production machines, the K6 on a pre-production machine, and the Deschutes was an estimate.

Petz: <re: 266 MHz K6-- Could these chips be directly placed into a notebook>

The Compaq Presario notebooks use a plain socket7, some other
I saw (Winbook XL-series) use the same one. You just pull out
the Tilamook, and plug in a K6. All voltages are adjustable.
No big problemo.

And remember, the K6-233 performs faster than P-266 on all
business applications. This could be an additional reason for
not pushing the 266 bin ahead of the time.

Regards,

Ali
