So, I found it weird that when I looked, my K6-III+ 400 was at 670 for a short moment 😳.
I discovered it was caused by the use of the command "Setmul L1DX L2D"
with that command, my clock will not stop in a single value.
when I set my clock to 400 I saw anything btw 409- 450 but not at 400, and using 500 clock, I saw 514 to 570 and one that was 670 D:

so, is the software wrong (Reading a wrong value), or when I do L1DX L2D the processor clock gets crazy?

^^ I see it all the time. The number is an average, so it can fluctuate, especially over a short period of time.
