Maxwell, Re: Do you have any understand of heat dissipation and computer? Or are you one of "those dumb stupid people that usually have better luck"? I know very little about heat dissipation and computer, so I ask. My luck is not bad lately and whether I am dumb or stupid, that doesn't matter much to me :-) Gary

Maxwell, Re: I am running my K6-2 overclocking to 375MHz now I am curious, why don't you run it at 100x3.5 but 75x5 ? I thought the FSB speed improvement(75 -> 100) would offset the 25Mhz gain in the CPU core. Beside, shouldn't the CPU be more reliable when running at 350Mhz ? Gary

I am running my K6-2 overclocking to 375MHz now. I started to hear some users claimed that they could overclock their K6-2-300 to 400Mhz during this week. They claimed that these K6-2-300 has "N" marking around the corner is more overclock friendly than the "K" mark. What is yours? These street talks indicates that AMD has been improving their K6-2 yields quite smoothly. Fuchi

Maxwell, That is very impressive to overclock a K6-2 to 375MHz. What is the speed it is rated for? 300 or 333? Well, I just got an Asus P2B with P-II/450 and 128MB of PC100 RAM this weekend. I am still in the process of building it up. So far, it boots up fine from simple DOS. I will overclock it to let you know whether this part is a cherry-picked version of P-II/400 or not. I suspect not because it is running a lot cooler than a P-II/266 in a Compaq machine. Stay tuned, Time Traveler
