Tench, >Re: Can the K6-3, which is meant for the desktop, just be dropped >into a mobile computer without any trouble? Is it really as easy as >lowering the voltage and clock speed? If so, the K6-3 is truly a >winner for AMD, if they have the capacity to make them without much >hassle. Yes they can. And best of all the OEM's can use the existing super 7 notebook motherboards that they have been using for k-2 mobiles. And they can even save monay as most of them will probably not populate the L3 cache. Frankly it is only possible to do speed testing once the part is packaged. SO the parts that fail the 400Mhz/450 Mhz speed grades will be retested at the mobile voltage and speeds. And then the parts will be remarked for the appropriate speed grades that they pass. As the new k-2 mobiles support 100Mhz for laptops, I think the k-3's will also be 100Mhz system bus. these systems should fly compared to Dixons. Regards, Kash
