impressive. a LOT of people on the ps/2 groups are saying only the
ibm/intel chips work and rarely do others in the ps/2 machines.
k6-III was/is the AMD mobile technologies socket 7 chip. it had more
cache and added functions for power saving, etc over the standard k6
series. it also allowed for more speed (maxed out at 575mhz instead
of 550mhz of the k6-2). there were a few claims of a k6-III stock
chip rated at 600mhz back in '99, but I never saw it. most likely, it
was a k6-III 550mhz overclocked to 600mhz with a better heatsink/fan.

AMD is good. Intel (at least lately) sucks. Only crappy downside:
because instructions, cache, etc are not exactly the same, I cannot
use AMD stuff on my classic PS/2 computers, etc =/
You *are* aware that many of the processors in PS/2's aren't Intel,
right? Many of them are IBM 386's and 486's, from back when IBM had
rights to the designs. There are some differences between the IBM
parts and the Intel parts.
And my PS/2 Server 95A is quite happy running with an AMD Socket 7
chip. (K6-III?)
