[Ham-Computers] RE: k6-2 333MHZ

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Basically, most MHz ratings that end in 3 or 6 (such as 333 or 366MHz) use a
multiple of 3 for the FSB speed (the only mathematical way to get a 3 or 6).
So, a 333MHz K6-2 should be 66MHz FSB x 5.0.

If you wanted to (and have adequate cooling), you could over-clock that
puppy to 350MHz (100x3.5) or 366MHz (66x5.5).  366MHz is safer from a FSB
perspective, 350MHz is faster from an I/O perspective (but may cause
problems if you don't have 100MHz rated FSB components - including RAM).
75MHz is an "in-between" alternative, but it throws off the timing of the
PCI/AGP bus and many cards won't work properly.  I've taken 333MHz K6's to
400MHz (100x4.0), but they need good cooling.  Some have even pushed to
500MHz.

If you do OC, do so at your own risk.  AMD CPU's are known to OC quite well,
but many motherboards won't tolerate it (especially cheap ones).

I find conflicting information can someone help???
 
what is the correct clock speed & multiplier for a k6-2 333MHZ
 
66, 75,100MHz
 
5.0x, 4.5x, 3.5x
 
??
