You're welcome. Regarding the K6-2 only the CXT version has the multi 2X automatically remapped to 6X. They can be recognized by the small inscription 26351 near the corner.
Since your MB is a Super SKT7, you can put any K6-2, your K6-2 300 can be set as 3X with FSB100 (as Cyrix200 + used to say).
I saw that there are various models of M590, one has a 4MB video card and the other an 8MB one.
I don't know which one you have, but keep it in mind, in case you want to update the BIOS.
The K6s are among my favorite CPUs, I put them in almost all the MBs, they only have one FPU not up to the Pentium, if the PC uses them often, maybe the Pentium MMX would agree.
So, if you use programs that use the FPU a lot, instead of the K6-2-300 you could try the Pentium MMX 233 @ 250 (multi 2.5X FSB100). I don't know if your CPU can go beyond 250 ???
In any case I found some info on the M590, in practice if what they write is true, setting the BUS to 100MHz, it will actually work at around 90MHz, so the 2.5X with FSB100 would actually be around 225MHz (2.5X90).
Do some bench, check the actual speed of the FSB, if it is around 90.
