It might be worth the trouble to get a Peltier effect >cooler and see if keeping the chip cold improves things any. Mine is warm when it fails not hot... At least is less hot than a Cyrix 200+ that works without troubles... I have tried with a big fan near it but it is the same story... By the way I'll try to lower the clock speed from 200 to 166 and to try again. What about to disable the internal cache ? I am imagining my friends that is assembling 40-50 computer for a tourist project that run under FreeBSD and they are "Powered by AMD K6" . (Infact AMD send it's cpus for free if he put the Amd logo on the box ...) It'll be a very funny things :-) Regards...
