I can't answer your question.....but I know something neat. the K as in K6 origanally stood for Kryptonyte (sp) the stuff the brought superman to his knees. They changed it later on becaus eof licenceing issues. Wonder who AMD would want to bring to thier knees?????????

You've got a pretty old system by today's standards. I have fond memories of my K6-2 450 with 384 MB. But that was back in 1999-2000. Things have come quite a ways.

FYI, you have the top CPU for this motherboard socket (super socket 7). I'd also be willing to bet you probably have PC100 SDRAM. I'm afraid I can't recommend any easy upgrade option for you. No matter what, you'll have to get a number of components to make the upgrade work.

How much money do you have to spend?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 (LDBHE 0542)
Abit K8N (nForce4)
Kingston Hyper-X 1024MB (2x512 MB) PC3200
Sapphire Radeon X700 256MB PCIe
Seagate 160 GB SATA (8 MB Cache)
PC Power and Cooling 470W Silencer

Yeah that is the key issue. Mulla, ho much you got ear marked for ths project.

You might check out Upgradeability.com' ">http://www.upgradeability.com/ to see if they have anything to offer you.
I bought a K6-III 380 mhz chip from them for about $36.00 to replace an Intel 233 mhz. I can only squeeze 368 mhz out of that old Soyo board with its 66 mhz bus, but I am still happy with the improvement.
They seem to have some K6-2 upgrades as well, but I don't know much about them. My ordering experience went well, and that old computer is still running great. Guess I can't ask for more than that.
