Ok, I got my replacement K6-200 yesterday, after the distributor tried to say
there was nothing wrong with the old chip (because they couldn't make it fail
running windoze for a couple of hours... :(
So far, the chip is performing flawlessly. I've run 10 full 'make worlds' in
the last 24 hours (takes about 2 hours, with a 20 minute pause between them),
and all have completed perfectly, without any sign of the errors I was seeing
before.
The original chip contained the manufacturing code:
9716CJD
And noted the voltage as 2.9
The replacement contains the manufacturing code:
B 9731FPAW
And notes the voltage as 2.9 core/3.3 I/O
Significant? Dunno, just trying to fill in blanks. :)
Here's the hardware config:
CPU Model: AMD K6-200
Motherboard: Asus P/I P55T2P4 (4 Month Old)
Chipset: 430HX
L2 Cache: 512K Pipeline Burst
System Memory: 96MB EDO
HD Controller: Asus SC200 (NCR 53C810)
Hard Drives: Seagate ST3255N, HPSW30PN
Bios: Award 0203, 0204
Switching/Linear VR: Switching
HS Grease Applied: Yes
Fan Type: CoolerMaster TI5-602525
Make World: X 10 without problems so far.
General FreeBSD Stuff: no problems
FreeBSD Version: 2.2.2-stable
(This is the original configuration that I tried...)
I will be continuing to run tests, running a full 'make world' at least once a
day for the next month, to see if this chip looks like it's going to develop
any problems, and I'll keep the list informed of anything I find out, either
via these tests, or from AMD tech support.
Thanks,
Mike
