Gday all.
Im in the process of building a retro collection for a lan party. Anyway ive got an asus txp4 and i was wondering if anyone had a custom bios, to allow the more powerful k62's.

Not after k6 2/3+ just the k6 2 400 or 500, cheap is best as these arent my daily driver retro's.

Thanks Russ.

This site hosts the latest unofficial BIOS that even gives K6 plus support and raises the HDD size limit to 128GB. Simply running a K6-2 400 should work with the latest beta BIOS from Asus but maybe the CPU ID will be wrong.
Having an Intel chipset the fastest you can go without overclocking the PCI bus is 66MHz*6 i.e. 400MHz. Set the multi to 2x for the K6-2 to run at 6x multi. The board allows for higher fsb but I don't really think it's worth overclocking if stability suffers.
Have fun! 😃
