AMD K6-2 400MHz (as well as K6-III 400MHz) can also be used as an upgrade solution for older motherboards which do not support 100MHz FSB. Just switch bus to 66MHz, and set CPU multiplier to 2x (which will be treated internally as 6x). Haven't seen any overheating issues with K6-2. Of course, if to use a $3 sleeve-bearing fan + AT case with a number of cables hanging inside, a "proper" cooling is guaranteed. I've always told to my clients that there are three things which will reduce you a lot of headache: a quality monitor, a good motherboard, and an appropriate ball-bearing fan. Unfortunately, common sense and most PC users (including some PC builders) are two incompatible things... Regards, Rhett Maxim Sobolev wrote: > It is likely that those aren't related.
