I don't think the K6-2 with its high leakage current can just be dropped into a notebook. AMD is selling lots of K6-2's for notebooks. What evidence is your statement based on? pcbydesign.com amd.com Scumbria

RE: <Ten: AMD wouldn't dare sell a K6-3 that runs under 400 MHz... You're telling me that the K6-3 can just be underclocked and dropped into a notebook?> The six watt notebook chips (300 MHz) probably have the same process and die tweaks that brought the K6-2 up to 400 MHz. Except, they'll run at 300 MHz with a lower supply voltage (1.9 to 2.0 volts vs. 2.2 volts for the K6 and K6-2). BTW, AMD did add more power management features to the mobile K6. One chip gives low power 300 MHz or 400 MHz. Cool. Petz
