Author Topic: K-6 III Plus dancho Member Member # 58 posted 12-19-2000 08:39 PM                   I was doing some serious surfing after a long layoff, and I was amazed to discover that that my old K-6 system could actually be upgraded again-- to 600 mhz! It seems that due to a particularly strange business decision, AMD has ended up selling a processor called the K-6 III "plus" that is rated at 450mhz but can easily be overclocked to 550 and often to 600. If you have an old super seven system, like I do, you should check this thing out. It provides quite a good upgrade for 50 bucks (American). Do a Deja.com search for "K6 III+" to get more info. One thing I want to point out-- this IS NOT a K6-III 450. The "plus" means it's made with a smaller die, or something-- so it runs cooler and can be overclocked. I'll keep this group posted on my results (I just ordered the thing).

Let me know how you make out. BTW, the best Pricewatch price is $60. Where did you see it for $50?

If you want an easy upgrade, take an K6 III 500/II 500+ (notebook CPU?). For using an II 500+, you must be able to set 1,8 or 2,0V to the core, so not all mobos can handle it. Before I´m using an normal II 500, I overclocked an 300 to 350, has been running stable as a rock, but the next grade wouldn´t run. Set the multiplier to 2, the CPU will intern interpret it as setting to 600mhz! It should work, like tomshardware.com has tested. In germany, the CPU isn´t available yet, so I´m unable to get one. Could one of you tell me, under wich circumstances one could supply me to get one? Please, mail answer to schaardt@pudenz.com (personal office adress, so not always online) Posts: 95 | From: Niedersachsen, Germany | Registered: Dec 1999  |  IP: Logged IKEN Member Member # 6655 posted 12-19-2000 11:29 PM                   S! is it really possible to buy k6-500+? i haven't seen them for sale anywhere. ------------------ Posts: 205 | From: kista STOCKHOLM | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged ButcherBird13 Member Member # 270 posted 12-20-2000 04:28 AM                   I was interested in doing just this but , From what I read the PROCESSOR is limited to 512 EXTERNAL CACHE so if you have a "Super Socket 7" Motherboard with 2MEG of Cache on it like I do it wont use it That is my current understanding. My guess is that no lap top ever uses more than 512 ext cache so no need for a processor to make use of it. ------------------ There is ALWAYS a WAY if your COMMITTED !

The internal 1L cache and 2L cache makes the difference, they are both clocked like the CPU. Wherefore would you like to have 2 megs 3L cache on mobo? If you own an K6 II, it has a 1L cache on die and your mobo cache, equal how big, they both will not get that performance of two caches on die and one on mobo.
