I have two machines running on K6, one is a K6 233 (K6-1, MMX but not "3Dnow!") and this one: FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Feb 5 12:32:04 CET 1999 ugo@pegasus.home.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/PEGASUS Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193220 Hz CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (374.89-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x580 Stepping=0 Features=0x8001bf That's a K6-2/333 a *little* overclocked :-) I previously run on a K6-1/200 fine. >> The handbook mentions segmentation faults during compilation (it >> also says this has been fixed). > > Correct. Some of the older steppings had problems, but it's been It was with older K6-1 (production date before 9723 IIRC). You may read the production date on the top label of the CPU, on the line below the "2.9V CORE/3.3V I/O" one. I think (correct me if I am wrong) that this applies to K6-1/233 too, but should be history now (BTW, I still have access to a couple of those older processors). > Greg Bye, UP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
