Dunno, just trying to fill in blanks. :) I think currently all the K6's are Rev B. I don't know for sure, but my guess is that the 2 digits after the 97 are the week number... So this new one is a July chip I think. The previous was probably the first batch (near the end of March and beginning of April) if I have the code right. AMD has been playing around with the markings so I guess they are still changing the markings. I think Rev A was the engineering sample batch that was sent to MB companies. I am still suspicious about the MB though, but let us know how it goes. Was this the 3rd MB? Or a new one? I think you say it is 4months old... > > 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 > > >
