Well, I can obtain one from a guy in Italy for $40 with shipping, so it's quite tempting to go for it. I've also decided to opt for a CRT monitor.
wrote:What I'm really concerned about is the actual speed of my processor. Now, I know that the K6-2+ and K6-3+ CPUs are better choices because you can dynamically adjust the multiplier with SetMul. Unfortunately, after waiting for months I could just not find one. It's not a complete disaster, since I can still manually set it using the multiplier switches on the motherboard itself. If I understand the multiplier switch correct, I can only really use 2.5-3.5 without encountering any interesting problems (for example the 2.0x and 6.0x mode is the same), so if I understand this correctly, this means that the lowest possible speed that I can achieve is 2.5x66Mhz = 166Mhz. Now, do I have to vorry about setting the voltage lower or higher or should I just leave it at the CPU's default level?
If you underclock the CPU you should also be able to lower the voltage. I suppose if you switch speed often this might become a hassle so you could just leave it at stock voltage. I don't know how low you could go, you'd have to try.
As for K6-3+: There is a German seller which ships worldwide: http://www.ebay.de/itm//201338393040 (ATZ model, already mentioned that one several times in the past). Don't know what the shipping cost will be and if that's in your budget. It is surely nice to be able to use a 2x multiplier and to use 400MHz@1.6V.
