the K6's come precooked from the factory :-) but i run my k6-II/200 at 233 or so without i'll effects. it's a pretty old piece of silicon and i think the earlier chips had more 'intel-ish' thermal safety margins. i think AMD got braver about pushing the silicon as they got more experience with the manufacturing process, so they end up *selling* the slicon rated at a more aggressive clock speed. but now i am inspired to try to bump mine to 250 and see what happens. :-) it's my home gateway box and it never runs windows. usually i know that i have been too ambitious when gcc barfs abruptly during a kernel compile...
