Re: "When I have done very much testing on the system, this K6-2/330 can not be overclocked reliably, even a speed bin higher." What do you claim to have--a 333 or a 350? Just so you don't get confusded, before you claimed you had a 333 MHz K6-2: exchange2000.com I suspect that you just don't know how to overclock. The tricky part is playing with the voltage and the bios settings. Try reading your motherboard manual and updating your motherboard bios. Also gotta download the software from Ali's web page. And don't forget to use a good thermal paste. For the record my K6-2 350 works just fine at 2.4 volts, 400 MHz. I am currently running it at 390 MHz on a 112 MHz bus because it's faster. I'm even using pre-PC100 SDRAM and it is nice and stable--not a single lockup and I've had it three weeks. I'm even using CAS2 and TURBO memory settings! I have to admit I was surprised this worked--I guess I have the stability of the chipset (Via) to thank. Kevin

John, <I bet I know more about PCs than you do. When I have done very much testing on the system, this K6-2/330 can not be..> Did you check how stable is your board's core voltage, how it holds both DC and dynamical load at above 10A? <This paradox theory which you seem to believe is merely an entertaining (very non-serious) tidbit for physicists. It is like watching the X-Files and Startrek.> The wave-prticle duality was at a time the same titbit for a half-edicated peoples like you know who... It is a blasphemy to compare efforts of most brilliant minds of the present with a silly TV entertainment. Your comparison just illustrates now far these matters are beyond your comprehension.

Time Traveller: <<Hey, I bet I know more about PCs than you do. When I have done very much testing on the system, this K6-2/330 can not be overclocked reliably, even a speed bin higher. Fact is fact. I start to suspect your claim or anyone's claim of overclocking K6 to super high speed. Maybe on one try only, but It takes many tries without failure to safely say that it works. Do you understand that now?>> I have a 350MHz K6-2. On my Asus motherboard I can overclock to 400MHz without changing Vcc. On my Shuttle I can't even overclock the same chip to 380MHz. Not every MB is created equal. <<This paradox theory which you seem to believe is merely an entertaining (very non-serious) tidbit for physicists. It is like watching the X-Files and Startrek. You seem to have problems separating facts from fantasies. I suggest you to watch fewer science fiction flicks from now on.>> The 10 dimensional superstring theory I introduced you is the latest theory that physicists currently believe to be the unified field theory. The theory is perfectly symmetric and offers an explanation to the origin of quantum theory which is still a mystery today. I did not make it up. The theory is probably beyond your level of understanding and that is why you think it is fantasy. If you seriously thinking about time travelling I suggest you to pick up a book on introduction of superstring theory. Maxwell
