Well,
I'm using a K6-2 300 mhz chip which I over clocked to 350mhz
(3.5x100mhz, 2.5v) and I'm running 2 months strong with it. Kernel
optimization is set to 'pentium' and just took me 6mim 28sec to fully
cycle a kernel. I believe that the optimization being left at the 386
level was meant for the K6 and not the K6-2 3D now.
good luck,
jon
