The only thing that I would change is the OS: Use OpenBSD or GNU/Linux instead. why would you say that Doc? Linux doesn't require anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-crapware, etc to be installed. It's very easy to set it up as a Samba server(Samba is Linux's version of Window's Server Message Block pro...

Jim - That's definately an interesting setup. However, I had a couple of questions about it. When you said that you have issues with XP and 98SE installed on the same drive, why not use 2 different drives? And, if the bios supports it, you can switch the boot drive order. I know not all bios's suppo...

Re: socket 7 cpus @ phase change cooling
yeah, with 800mhz it wasn't bench stable, but 744mhz was no problem. i guess it's the high fsb. ok, i will try "memtest" and will post the results later this week. :D Can you try 5.5x133 for 733Mhz? I've personally found that in a lot of cases the higher FSB speed is more helpful. Still, ...

hey larrystotler :) Welcome to K6Plus!! Nice to read from a new face! I have also wondered about Linux... don't know too much about it though but i have a few live CDs. Glad to have found this place. I've been dabbling in it for about 8 years. It's very stable, and it's a whole lot easier to instal...

Re: socket 7 cpus @ phase change cooling
Hi guys. :) i just registered to post my results of overclocking various socket 7 cpus under phase change cooling. :lol: max clock 800mhz(133x6). I'm guessing it wasn't stable at 800 since you didn't post any benchmarks for it at that speed. Can you run memtest86 on it and report the L1, L2, and me...

Well, I tried to overclock the old K6-3/400 again. I was trying to go 4x133 instead of the current 3.5x133. No go. No matter what voltage I tried, I couldn't even get it to post. I know, I could try stting the multiplier lower. However, I had run it a 4x112 for a while on another machine, and I thin...

it is the chipset that provides the 133mhz setting. afaik the m599lmr uses the sis530, so the only thing you got to know is how to set the jumpers for selecting the various fsb/sdram speeds (100, 112, 124, 133). whether the pcchips board can stand it is a question of manufacturing quality. I may ha...

nice to read from new faces and from someone who engages his k6-system with linux. I've been using Linux full-time since 1999. I use W2k sometimes depending on the need for a windows app or for my son's games. I also use 98SE on some of my really old laptops. maybe I misunderstood what you tried to...

I have a Compaq Gigabyte GA-5SMM motherboard like you guys have been discussing. It's a v1.2. Thanx to info I got here, I was able to succ...
