I was playing around today and overclocked my K6-2 450 to 500Mhz. Seems perfectly stable at this speed. No big temperature increase or anything. I tried 550MHz, but at best the display was all messed up. Tomorrow I might try 533 or something and see how that works.

Anybody here have any experience overclocking k6-2's?

I allways over clock. AMD is the best too! I have always had AMDs and the one Intell chip I had (486sx25) died at reg clock speed! POS

Tradionally, Intel chips have been the better overclockers. I have a celery 366 running at 550 right now. I also have an AMD k6-2 300 that will not over clock, but, my T-bird Athlon 750 is running at 825. I am going to try to get it higher later on, I just haven't had the time...

Uh, what country is this??

At least with current gen chips, intel is a better overclocker. They run cooler, and have better heat disipation.

People have done some insane overclocking on P4s and celrons. (A 1.5 p4 to 2.1 I think)

Sure, percentage wise and mhz wise they overclock higher, but performance wise, the Athlon rules. Tomshardware and Anandtech give examples of what I mean. You can take a 1.5p4 to 2, and a 1ghz athlon to 1.3, but once you test those in applications, the net percentage gains on the athlon are actually higher than on the pentium 4.

put that in your crack pipe and smoke it.

not bad, but I'm in the process of assembling a Duron 600 that pushes 1.001Ghz... I figure increasing the multiplier from 6 to 7, and then up the FSB from 100 to 143 (Very possible on an Iwill KK-266) will get me that, with minor voltage tweaks and maybe investing a few dollars, I could get a 750 to 1.06 (8 x 133FSB) or 1.0 (default 7.5 x 133FSB).

I'd suggest the Iwill KK-266 mobo to any hardcore AMD nut. Its the overclocker's delight. After unlocking (L1 trick) your CPU, the BIOS lets you change your FSB in increments of 1. I've seen a Athlon 850 buddy of mine run his Mushkin memory at 158mhz on CAS3 (we could probably hit 160, but he wimped out). Enough jibba jabba.

I agree. Same board I've got mine running on. The only PITA is that it's not totally jumperless so I actually had to cut some of a bridge to have it get past the initial post with the default mult. at higher FSBs.
