<Elmer, only a dummy would run the K6-300 at 2.3v since its rated at 2.2! Your calculations are useless.>

Petz, power calculations don't mean anything if they aren't worst case. I didn't make up AMD's numbers, they published them, not me.
AMD rates the K6 at 2.3V max, not me. I guess AMD must be selling their K6 to dummies (not me), but we already knew that, didn't we...

Argue with AMD, they are the ones who say 2.3 volts.

Petz , re. only a dummy would run K6 at 2.3v
I have some specs on the K6-2 which show that 2.3v is the highest for that cpu but it shows a cycle time of 2.5 nsec at that voltage which equates to 400mhz . Whether K6 classic on .25 is the same I am not sure ,
