k6-3-450ahx, draws 13.5 amp at 2.4v, yielding 32 watts.
k6-233, draws 9.5 amp at 3.2v, yielding 30 watts.
m2-pr333(83*3 or 66*4), draws 9.5 amp at 2.9v, yielding 28 watts.
k6-3+550 and k6-2+550, draws 10 amp at 2.0v, yielding 20 watts, thats quite a currency.
can every socket7 board handle these?
and the ppro200 1mb, draws 15 amp at 3.3v, yielding 50 watts, considering its running at 200mhz!

Dang! And I thought PII-300 at 43w was bad!

Good quality S7 boards with switching voltage regulators should be fine. For example, I had an Asus TX-97-E with the 2.4V K6-III back in the day, not a problem.
However, cheap or older S7 boards had linear voltage regulators, often these were not up to the job, resulting in an unstable system.
The + cpu's need a bios support and the right voltage, so no, not every socket 7 board supports them. Older boards that only support 2,8v for the mmx for example.
2,8v is a little too much for the amd's i think. The + cpu's run fine from 1,6v to 2,4v
The older k6-2 and k6-3 you maybe could get away with 2,8v when using very good cooling. (just like the mmx cpu's run fine on an old 3,3v board as long as they are cooled properly)
