K6-3 & RC5s

[Vegito]

Is it really true ? These are pretty fast ? I have an old mobo that takes it and I'll be more than happy to get a k6-3s off e-ba$ auction site to increase output...

Unfortunately, the k6 series of chips stink pretty bad at RC5. Any added output is welcome, of course, but a k6-3 will have a little more than half the keyrate of an similarly clocked p2 or p3 chip. In OGR (and Gamma Flux, too, I believe), however, the k6 series of chips kicks some serious butt. They are every bit as fast as p2s and p3s.

The entire K6 line is more efficent doing OGR than RC5.

As I understand from all the postings on the forum, a k6 will be more efficient on OGR.
non the less, it will be an valuable asset to TA.

I've 3 K6-3 400@450 and they get about 700+ kksec (from memory, I'll check the exact number and post later)

Oh dang, I must be smoking something when reading... I currently have a p1-200mmx on it, getting a case & etc for it, I'm sure a 300+mhz would be faster ?

If your staying with the socket 7, the K6-3's are 'bout the best you can get.
