John:

Can you give me the phone # for PC Club or their web page? BTW my friend has a K6-300. It doesn't seem to be hot when I touch it. Are you sure the power dissipation for K6-300 is 15W?

Thanks
Maxwell

Re. L2 cache power is insignificant for K6
since it is on the Mboard the heat is also far less critical as it will not heat the CPU module as in the case of PII .

PS thanks John for the PC Club K6-300 notebook news

<So what, the K6-300 according to you dissipates 15 watts. L2 cache for K6-300 is insignificant in power dissipation, certainly less than 2 watts.>

I just went to the K6 Datasheet and ran the numbers. It adds up to 19.243 Watts on my calculator. Here's how I calculated it

Max Vcc2 = 2.3V
Max Vcc3 = 3.6V

Max Icc2 = 7.49A
Max Icc3 = .56A

2.3V*7.49A = 17.227 W.
3.6V*.56A = 2.016W.

Not including L2 cache.

These are AMD's numbers, not mine.
