k62 500mhz

[blaisburn]

will a k62 fit into a socket A motherboard like the pcChips 810mlr?

I don't know if it'll fit, but I know it shouldn't work. you need a Socket 7 motherboard for the chip to fit and run, but for it to run at full speed you need it to be running on what is called a Super 7 motherboard, one which is based on a Via MVP3 or ALi Aladdin V chipset (I have the latter on my Super 7 comp).

No, first of all the K6-2 still uses the ZIF socket, which only has a pin in one edge removed, whereas the Athlon has two pins removed.
Also, they are not pin compatible anyway, use different commands and what not.

Why not get a cheap Duron - will give the K6-2 a run for the money anway.

if you push hard enough, anything will fit in there

NO, the K62 will not work on an Athlon board and an Athlon will not work on an older Socket 7/"Super 7" board either.

Just to correct RSMemphis: A cheap Duron will not give a k6-2 a run for it's money, it will crush it like a newbie installing a Golden Orb on a brand new XP 2000!!

it will fit...keep pushing.
