Thanks Mike...
Unfortunately... the GA-586TX2 is powered by the 430TX chipset, which is only capable of 60~66Mhz bus speeds, your options are few concerning K62 compatibility... essentially, 6x66Mhz approximately 400Mhz is top speed, I achieved this with a K62-350 processor :)

The 6x multiplier is achieved through use of 2x multi' as AMD re-mapped their K62 processor line to allow for fitment to 66Mhz limited boards...

Consistant with the ideology of "never say never..." the only remaining option AFAIK is to 'de-solder' the clock reference crystal and replace with a slightly higher value, this will ultimately alter your PCI/AGP reference speeds also :(
