Wait, so the K6-II and III can be used to circumvent the TX's (cacheable) RAM limit?

In that case, I know what upgrade my ABIT AB-TX5 is gonna get 🤣

It does. You'll want to try both with and without the onboard cache - notice the increase in memory bandwidth with the motherboard's cache disabled (315 MB/S disabled vs. 252 enabled) .

Not with K6-2 (this one lacks any on-die cache), but with K6-2+, K6-III or K6-III+.

Yeah, forgot the plus 🤣

Oh well, guess I can add a K6-II+ to my TX5 once I can get my hands on a K6-III to dump into my Soyo 5EHM w/ 1MB cache.
