Cpu Problems

I have a k6-3+ 450@600 on my asus p5a-b. It seems to be running very slow for it's speed.... i benched on sandra, and all the scores are much below what they should be. I just put it in from a Pentium 250 mmx, and the mmx actually was faster in games, like ut. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it possible that the cpu could be damaged?
 
Are you certain the P5A-B supports that processor? I know that with the P5A you have to have an older revision (1.4 or earlier) board before you can use the mobile chip.

I'm not positive but i dont remember the P5A-B supporting the mobile processors.
 
It looks like it may not 🙁 This totally bites..... I wonder why it can't use the mobile ones, the only difference is that it's 0.18 instead of 0.25. Does anyone actually know if it supports it or not?

From what I recall, the problem is the same for '-B' variant. Anything higher than a revision 1.04 board will be sloooow.
 
I had the same problem - I have a K6-III+ 550, and I bought a P5A rev 1.06 - And it was extremely slow. I ended up getting a Ga-5AX from Gigabyte; it's worked pretty good so far.
 
Well, i guess that's my confirmation, that's too bad, thanks though.

Could be worse 😉.

Both the board (quick socket 7 + AT form factor + Asus) and the CPU (fastest thing to ever grace socket 7) should have very good resale value on ebay. Enough to buy a Duron/Celeron plus mobo probably.

 
Yep, I think i'll try and sell here, or ebay... I have some other stuff that i also wouldn't mind selling 🙂
