While awaiting the arrival of the rest of the parts to fix my 486s, I decided to start working on a project one of my brothers had suggested a while ago. Socket 7 build. I already had some parts and the rest I got cheaply through eBay.
Motherboard: FIC VA-503+ (was torn between that one and a Microstar)
CPU: AMD K6-2 500MHz
RAM: 256MB (2x 128 PC100) but I'm probably going to be switching out for 512MB (2x 256 PC133)
Well, the stats roll on, but I'm actually curious about the CPU... as I mostly skipped over the K6 era, I know very little about it firsthand.
I read from various sources that they're not stable processors. Is that true and if so, is it bad enough that I should switch out for a Pentium 233MMX? Or is it fine for legacy gaming?
I'll post more info on it when I get it up and running.
