Would some one explain how to get the replacement for old K6-200? Talk to the AMD or the vendor? and how huch will cost for the replacement? Thanks, -Jin }>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. :) } }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. }
