Sergio, re:450 MHz at 2.3v, 400 MHz at 2.2v. The voltage is always specified with a +- 0.1 volt tolerance, so, actually a 450 MHz K6-2 is required to work throughout its temperature range at a voltage of anywhere from 2.2v to 2.4v. A motherboard typically regulates the voltage to +- 0.05 volts. But I haven't seen any verification of a 450 MHz K6-2 running at 2.3 volts. Anand didn't say anything about his K6-3-450 running at 2.3 volts, so why should a K6-2, with the same core, require it? Petz

Sergio: <<If shifting a tenth of a volt will allow higher frequency, I assume you will require a hard rock solid power supply to provide this? Or is the voltage regulator on the motherboard adequate to handle the fluctuation with-out needing a very expensive power supply? By the way what brands are considered very good power supply for these motherboards?>> It is the voltage regulator on the motherboard that supplies the power to the CPU. The better voltage regulator and design offers better stability. I heard ASUS P5-A is good. Maxwell
