Posted 6-2-2001 16:48 Got my first K6 around May 2000. Was a K6 300 which I got up to 332.5MHz (3.5x95) on an AOpen AX59 Pro motherboard, 64MB Crucial PC100 CAS2 memory, 2MB PCI Trident video card, 1.4GB 2.5" Toshiba hard drive taken out of a broken down Compaq Presario laptop, SBLive Value sound card with Cambridge Soundworks FPS1000 speakers (at least I had good sound), a flakey 14.4 external Zoom modem which had trouble connecting and often would disconnect while online. I've come a long way since then. My Rigs

Posted 6-2-2001 20:28 December of 98, I got an Acer desktop with a K6-300. Second K6 was a k6-2 500 in an HP. After that was a Duron 800 in a built rig, then a 950 Classic in another homeade rig. Desert Dog, where in the AZ desert are you? I'm there as well.

Posted 6-2-2001 21:55 It was the late spring of 2000, I think (My bios dated 12/13/99 so it coudn;t have been before that; I've never flashed it). I needed a board for my K6III 500 to go in, which I purchased at the same time. At that time I picked the DFI specifically because it didn't have any bus speeds over 100 MHz, so I wouldn't be able to overclock it...or so I thought. It has turned out to be one of the best overclocking SS7 boards, thanks to utilities like CPUCool. I went from 'I would never overclock my cpu; that's too dangerous' to 'Come on baby, 672 MHz, you can do it!'. Only the distraction of helping Super Relay with this site has saved my latest CPU from certain doom!

1997 I think. First k6 was a k6-233 for an Abit Ax5 mobo, a very reliable setup once I realized the CPU heat mandated using thermal grease (was getting random lockups til I figgered that one out). Next came a k62-400 in an FIC 503+ mobo in 1999. Then in 2000 a k62+450 for the 503+, then a k62-500 for use in some $10 mobos I bought off the "RMA" table at a local shop's "going out of business" sale (all 5 boards worked, and only one had a small resistor problem in the printer interface circuitry), then a k63+450, then another k63+450, ahhhhrrrggggghhhh, I'm addicted!

April 1998. I traded a Pentium Pro 150 for a K6-2 266 (dude needed another Pro for SMP and I had lots of them). The K6-2 overclocked to 300 MHz and it is still up and running from time to time. My second K6 was a K6-III 450 in June of 2000, and my third was a K6-III+ 450 in April 2001.

Sorry about the delay, I've had family in from Texas since the 1st. Anyway, first of all I am now "AZK6er" a.k.a. "Desert_Dog". I'm in Apache Junction, about 35-40 miles east of Phoenix. How bout you Rhino302. ____________________ From the Arizona Desert Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word, unless you connect @ 24000 all day. -------------------- AMD K6-III 450+ o/c to 600 @ 2.0 Vcore Tyan S1590S AT100 Award BIOS 162005096 1998 V90W116c Flash V90j116c Over Flash 3DFX Socket-AHO heatsink w/ADDA 28cfm fan 3DFX Case80HO 80mm front Fan Arctic Silver Thermal Compound 256MB Crucial CL2 PC100 Promise Ultra100 IDE Controller WD 300BB 30GB ATA-100/7200 (SI-Soft = 21985) Radeon VE 32MB DDR (not a gamers card, 3DMark2000 = 1250) U.S.Robotics 56K Win Int 1125-04 R:2 SB Live X-Gamer USB Scanner/Printer/Optical mouse Belkin 4 port USB hub Windows Millennium (most excellent) K6-er since 5/4/99 ____________________

In 1999 I got the original K6 233. This was prior to the K6-2. Back then AMD was competeing with their own version of Intel's MMX processor. Shortly thereafter, the P2 was released and AMD had to scramble to release the K6-2 (the 3dNow enhanced version) to compensate for their poor FPU perfomance.
