(model 7,8,9) > >This is for the new K6 3D, not the regular K6 which has been supported >since 2.03 (2.02 too but was buggy). I'm running 2.03 here with a K6-200. Here is the summsry: According to ASUS web site, the AMD K6 is supported at Rev 3.0 or later. In fact, this is just accounting stuff. The real part is the HX itself. Regardless what it said on manual Rev 3.1 (PCB Rev 3.10) -- "K6 is not support", the AMD K6 always works on ASUS HX motherboard, however, just the information reported on the console is wrong. e.g., BIOS 109 reports K6-200 as K5-133, etc. I tested under this environment, the performance is K6-200. Also, the memory performance is better then under BIOS 205 (the latest one) because -- that under BIOS 109, the K6 FPU looks like 64-bits, but under BIOS 205, K6 FPU looks like 32-bits. It is very interesting. For Intel FPU, it acts the same (64-bits) under both BIOS Rev. -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
