eh.. AMD K6-2+/570MHz?

I have never heard of such a beast. Google doesen't bring up anything realevent, either.. although I haven't searched much yet.

Damn. Now I wan't one.. 60 bucks though.

<-- still on the K6-3/400 @ 450 I built 3 years ago.

570 doesn't divide well by any of the main bus speeds.

I don't know about this.

:Q:Q

Really? Upgrading is soooo cheap now...why?

 

[Zugzwang152]

450 surfs ATOT just as well as 3000

 

[Excelsior]

Even after searching all over AMDs website, tech docs, etc...the fastest K6-2+ they acknowledge is 550Mhz.

Yeah it does...

AMD is kinda cool like that. They really tried to use the SS7 platform to it's max..

Since multiplier 2x remaps to 6x, 2=6x95MHz = 570MHz.

It wouldn't really surprise me if they released such a chip, we just never heard about it since the K6 was dead.

Geez. I have a 550 K6-2 sitting here doing absolutely nothing. It's a whole computer too, just no monitor/keyboard/mouse.

Best game it could play was Unreal Tournament. Smooth too.

I don't know.. I just never did it..

When I had a job, I upgraded other things.. got the CDRW(first drive with Burnproof.. was 300 bucks when I bought it.. Plextor 12/10/32A).. 3x128mb ram.. was 200$ back then(66$/stick).. and the IBM Deathstar 75GXP was about 280$ back then(Yeah, it's amazing it's still alive after 3 years, I know.. but it is.)

I had kinda lost interest in the computer, was spending my money on other things.. Then I got laid off, and just have never had the money to do so. Well, I guess that's not true.. I've had the money to do so a few times, but I had more important things to spend it on.

Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade by the end of the summer. It's sad, too.. the reason I'm looking at all this stuff, is I've had the upgrade itch.. but not enough money to really do it. Plus, my computer has become unstable in the last few months.. random reboots, and then it doesen't count memory fully, even after a cold reboot. :Q Very strange. It doesen't seem to be the memory, so I've decided that my Epox MVP3G-M is crapping out.

So I bought an Epox MVP3G2(came with a K6-2/500 that I'll probably just resell) off ebay for like 30 bucks. I'll probably install it tomorrow and see how things go. Sad to spend money on such an outdated computer.. Heh.

 

[Excelsior]

Yep. Also, apparently this one OCs somewhat well since it is the 2v version.

 

[Eli]

I'm almost tempted to buy it, just to see if it's real... HEh...

 

[Excelsior]

I guess it COULD have photchopped it but it looks legit. Kind of like the ES P4 chips...

I think all the K6-x+'s are 2.0v..

 

[Eli]

Anyone want to donate to the "See if it's real" fund?

 

[Insane3D]

Eli -

YGPM.

Ah, you are most certainly correct. Aces.

 

[Insane3D]

Man, I threw away a K6-3 550 mhz and mobo a month or so ago. Bad timing..

 

[Excelsior]

Literally THREW it away? duuude...:brokenheart:

 

[McMadman]

I still have my epox mvp3c2 and k6-2+/450 sitting in a box, the value of the cpu has actually went up since I bought it.

lol. See how obsolete you are Eli?

He's throwing away faster technology.

Ah, I forgot about their 95MHz stuff.

 

[Insane3D]

Yep...it was of no use to me. I think I have a Slot A Athlon 850mhz and KA7-100 motherboard due to be tossed as well. The CPU is probably fine, but the mobo is a bit flaky...probably due to the leaking caps near the CPU slot.

Edit:

No worries guys. I have a few things here Eli might be able to use...

 

[Nohr]

K6-2+ and K6-III+ are mobile cpus that also happen to work in many SS7 desktop motherboards. They run at lower voltages than their non-plus counterparts and overclock better as well with some reaching 600MHz+.

To find out if your motherboard is compatible take a look at the K6-2+/K6-III+ CPU Motherboard Compatibility List on my site.

 

[mindwreck]

my moms computer in my signature thingy is a 450@500mhz k6-2 with a socket 370 celeron HS/f on it. runs nice. loads windows, word, IE very fast, but gaming performance is below par.....

i use its idle cpu cycles for folding@home, buts its been two days and its barely at 2%:frown:

 

[Corporate Thug]

why would you want this?

Because I'm still using Socket-7 and it's supposed to be the fastest S7 cpu made.

I may have an outdated system, but I'm still a computer hardware enthusiast.
