K6-2 CPU on a K6 motherboard

[Nailbunny]

Ok..this may be a silly question but, could it be possible to put an AMD k6-2 cpu on a motherboard that supports pentium/k6 cpus?

The motherboard is an AZZA PT-5IT. It has a max bus speed of 75mhz with upto 4.5x multiplier. The voltage goes from 2.1 to 3.2 volts.
Chipset is a 430TX

Could this feasably support a k6-2 300 or 333 cpu?

sure, iv tried it a while ago on my old asus mobo, i forgot the model and the chipset, but it should work

WOW 2 minutes to get a reply..gotta love this board.

Thanks for answering my question..I'll give it a shot.

Know anyone selling a K6-2 cup for around $25

Actually it'll probably support a 400 or maybe even a 450. I'd try that instead of just settling for a 300. Almost all K6-2 400s and up will remap a 2X multiplier to 6X. They put that feature in for this exact purpose I believe. So just pop a 400 in, set your multiplier to 2X and hopefully it'll work. I've got one at home running on an Abit TX5 motherboard and while it's not the fastest thing in the world, it's substantially faster than the 233 I used to have in it.

What Vc does this TX5 support? 2.2, 2.4v?

With that 66 MHz chipset (75 is overclocked) and 2.2V CPU support, you can use a K6-2/400 at 6.0x 66 MHz (jumper set to "2.0x" will get you 6.0x with K6-2) - IF both the mainboard BIOS and the CPU voltage regulators can cope.

oh...wierd ... ihave a question...
if you lower the multiplier on the k6 and higher the voltage from 66 - 83.3 will it work?
i've tried 75 and it seems to be working but choppy and the 83.3 won't boot...

oh i have a used 333 chip if you want it .. LMK
