<Ten, despite the fact that AMD did put some power saving tweaks into the K6 notebook chips, many notebook makers have done the same thing externally. There are K6-2 notebooks all over the place -- I saw one 266 and two 300 MHz K6-2 notebooks at Fry's last weekend. They are probably running the chips with slightly lower Vcc.>

Then I sure wouldn't want to buy them. Either the notebook will be running out of power more quickly, or the lower Vcc would just bring up reliability problems.

Petz,

The folks selling k6-2 mobiles aresing stock parts.

It's only no-name suppliers.

None of the majors is selling k6-2 notebooks yet.

It is the same die. But for mobile apps you need tighter screening and typically run them at lower voltages. So a 400Mhz desktop chip may translate to a 300Mhz mobile chip.

Regards,

Kash
