Re: Linux on AMD K6 ***WARNING***

[Rajiv Dhinakaran <dhinakaran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attn: Shankar Balan,  The AMD-K6 pre 300's are ideal for overclocking.  I
have been using a 266 at 300 for over a year now.  But all K6-2's come
'factory overclocked'.  I lost a K6/2-333 by overclocking it to 350!!!  It
now refuses to run at any speed above 300.  I also tried overclocking a 380
at 400, it just refused to run at 400.  So forget about overclocking *any*
K6/2's.

If you are looking at overclocking processors I would recommend the P-II
(Deschutes) and Celerons.  I have successfully overclocked a PII-300 at
450MHz and a Celeron 366 at 458.
