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
