mhz or multi? WARNING: *old cpu question!*

[Pilsnerpete]

I've got a k6-2 475. Default voltage=2.2
Current speed=504mhz
Current voltage=2.94v

I can either make it do 550 @ 100fsb or 504 @ 112. It won't quite do 560/112
stable. With 550/100 I can take it down to 2.67v. It's 24hr Prime stable on both.
Which one should I pick? Any replies appreciated!

edit: Prime95 just took a crap! 23 hours and 38 minutes. Is this good enough?
"rounding was 0.4999728203, expected less than 0.4."

It hates anymore voltage, though. It's going to be a cheap mp3/file server. Should
I go with max stability and lower the fsb?

Yup

Do I owe you $5.00 for that?

Thanks man!

Well, as my dad sometimes says:

Wow, 2.94v? It won't live long with that kinda voltage. Are you saying it takes 2.94v for 504, yet only 2.67v for 550?

Anyways, for a file server, I'd run it at stock voltage or maybe an even 500 if it'll go at 2.3-2.4v. I wouldn't run a K6-2 at almost 2.7v or more,
at least not for extended periods.

That's what I'm saying. .74 volts increase is alot.....isn't it?
Although, 550>500. It just sounds better...
What I'd LIKE to do is sell this machine to a friend of mine and buy a 2100b and some nForce2 board.
Take my 1800, put it in my parents machine; take their 1ghz athlon, sell it to another friend, and put
this Duron 700 in my Asus nForce1 board and call THAT one my file server.

Now I gotta decide what to do with a super old Comqrap w/180mhz Cyrix bibe (built in beyond extraction).

Why does a beer buzz go away? Sh!t. I'm only allowing myself 1 beer a night.
