Good morning, Maxwell, insomnia?

If K6/300:

- Runs very cool at 300MHz
- Does not function if overclock to 333MHz

This chip has no margin left. This is probably the end of the line for vanilla K6's. Since K6-2 uses the same core as K6, let's hope K6-2 would fare better in higher speed's. Wait, didn't some freezer company demonstrated K6-2 running at 450MHz with mild cryogenic technology?

Maxwell, could you be witnessing the speed limit of Socket-7 when you cannot overclock your K6/300 to 333 MHz? 300MHz is still amazingly impressive!
