Well, what you're really saying here is "if I use the incorrect voltages, my computer doesn't work". I don't find this very remarkable. But if you keep trying, you may be able to get it to a situation where it doesn't work with the correct voltages either. > i downloaded a (win) benchmark from http://cpusite.examedia.nl/ and > it tells me that the speed of my cpu is equal to a pentium 200. i > cant believe the 300 is much faster than the 550 only because its a > pentium 2. does anyone know how i can increase the speed of my k6 or > does anyone have the same problem? Use a different benchmark? Anything that lives in Microsoft space is suspect, especially if it's a benchmark. The real issue here, if there is one, is a board setup problem. Check things like wait states as well, and check what FreeBSD reports on startup, for example: FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Apr 20 14:10:42 CST 2000 grog@freebie.lemis.com:/panic/usr/T/src/FREEBIE/src/sys/compile/FREEBIE Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz Timecounter "TSC" frequency 334058861 Hz CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (334.06-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping = 12 Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX> AMD Features=0x80000800<SYSCALL,3DNow!> Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
