Some of us don't mind waiting to save 50% or more.

Posted elsewhere....

I bought one of these CPUs several months back for an old socket7 Shuttle HOT567 board with an Intel TX430 chipset, replacing a Pentium 200MMX. As I recall the trick, which works on many different brands of boards, was to set the multiplier to 2x and the board will actually boot at 6x, needs a relatively close voltage too but not real picky. You can set the bus to run at 75 (or 83mhz possibly) and you have a 6x75=450mhz box (or 6x83=498) at least likey. This CPU with Libranet Linux is a decent web surfer and I can listen to music at the same time with a MadMutt feebie soundcard. It took about an hour to install linux and it is a very slick desktop, think menus, less command line. This would also make a decent little server, router or something. That CPU might have more use than you think.

By the way the price was up to $20 and they are sold out it looks like!!

That is a bulky and potentially dangerous keychain idea

Well, I ordered it as well, I actually can use the K6-2 processor. Anyone know if this one requires a heatsink/fan? I have a couple of old computers that can use this as an upgrade so I'll have to choose which computer gets an upgrade.

Check out the reviews on CPU's page. Some of them are quite funny.

Deal is Dead.

 

[Tylanner]

I got in on this deal, but my Farcry DVD arrived and I noticed it had wave-like scratches in it..Doesn't work, stops halfway through install with error

This deal bit me in the azz, $20 for shat CPU and a defective, non-exchangable game....first time newegg has let me down.

 

[Ka0t1x]

Did that to me.. I removed the cd when I got the error and put it back in and hit Retry.. works for me..

 

[hytek369]

If anything you have a 100% Legit CDKey, just borrow someone's copy and use that..
