No, K6-III.

Heres a couple examples:

Edit:It's the top 2, the bottom 2 are the + variety again, which are more common

*Ahem*

That's the one.

So dosquest, you happen to actually "have" one of those?

No, well I used to but it went by the wayside...*kicks self several times* 🙁

Are these the ones that beat a Katmai in performance? or is that the K6-3+?

Does a K6-III+ count?

Years ago I had a K6-III 400MHz 2.4V AHX chip - it died in an heroic attempt to reach 500 MHz (83x6) on a TX-97E board. Avoid this model if possible.

Nowadays I just use one of those cheap K6-3+ 400MHz ATZ CPUs, but since my backup board (P5A rev. 1.06) doesn't play nice with the mobile chips, I'm also keeping a K6-III 450MHz 2.2V AFX. Both of these will do 550 MHz without a hitch.

Edit: Corrected part number for my CPU.

Nope 😜

For the record, I'm talking about K6-III classic/desktop part, not the K6-3+ mobile parts which seem to be more common then raindrops 😁

I'm wanting to see how many others here have the actual K6-III desktop variety.
The K6-III+ is all over the place, but the normal K6-III seems impossible to find!

Total count so far for K6-III non-plus on Vogons:2

I have two K6-III/400 AHX 2.4V, and despite what 5u3 said, I would not recommend to avoid this model if you can find it, because this CPU worked like a charm on my Asus TX-97E. Note that I had it running at 400 MHz (6x66) and 2.2V without any stability issue due to undervolting. I used that machine mainly for MAME, and believe me that the K6-III CPU ran pretty cold.

Now I'm using one of them on a VIA MVP3 motherboard, I planned to make it a Windows 2000 printer/network server, but now it's just another of my never finished projects.

I think I have a 400 and a 450, k6/3 non-plus's, one of them running in a ga5ax. Will check later. Also have a + or two so I could be confused.

Edit: It's a k6/3 450 model 9 in my ga5ax system.

Cheers, if it's not too much trouble 😉

I'll keep updating the list so I get a semi-complete picture of what's floating around here regarding K6-III 😀

Total count so far for K6-III non-plus on Vogons:4 (possibly 6)

Ok I have these:

K6/3 450 AFX
K6/3 400 AHX
K6/3+ 400 ATZ

and what cpuid reports as a k6/3 450 model 9 in my ga5ax system, which seems to mean it's a non-plus. Which makes me non-plussed *groan* as I didn't think I had 3 non-plus cpu's. Could it be reporting wrong somehow?

Dunno. Personally I believe in the mark-1 eyeball approach. Software can tell so many things but having the thing in your hand and looking at it with your own eye is always the best solution in my opinion 😉

Total count so far for K6-III non-plus on Vogons:6 (possibly 7)

Just realised that I have listed the wrong part number for my K6-III: It's a K6-III 450 AFX, not AFR.

Updated!

hi

i have an AMD-K6-III/450AHX 2.4V CORE/3.3V I/O
here in an ECS p5vp-a+ which I know works but
i have never got around to setting up.

this picture comes complete with hair unfortunately:

there is also some kind of k6 in a cobalt raq4 i have
which is currently in use as a rack shelf that also
works but is never ever turned on. perhaps i
will open it up one day and see 😀

bye!

for your viewing pleasure:

a cobalt raq4 (good source for k6 parts by the look of it)

bye
