<So I guess this means AMD has a 366 speed grade too!.. Well that is out of the Celeron range last time I checked, so there's a couple of extra $$ in the bank.> How fast does the system bus run when the K6-2 is running at 366 MHz? This is a weird speed grade. If the bus multiplier is 3.5, then the processor bus is being slightly overclocked at 104.5 MHz. If the bus multiplier is 4, then the processor bus is running at a castrated 91.5 MHz. (This is starting to sound like FM radio station frequencies.) Tenchusatsu

For those who can't understand why AMD has a 366 MHz K6-2... All you have to do is go to a retail store and see how the average consumer buys a computer. They walk in and look at the MEGAHERTZ and the PRICE. Then to make them feel better the real uninformed like to stick to a major name brand....ahhh like HP. They don't know that the 366 is running on a cheap integrated motherboard with a 66 (cheap ram) megahertz bus....they know cpu MEGAHERTZ and the price will be right. HP will sell a ton of these just like the 300 and 333...probably be the best seller in November.
