I've checked around using Google and can't quite get a straight answer
on this one...
I picked up a VA-503+ motherboard with the rev "1.1a" stamp on it. My
question is, will the K6-2 500 processor run on it, or only on the Rev.
1.2 boards??
Right now it's got a K6-2 300 CPU on board, and I've OC'd it to 350MHZ,
but ...I'd like to get even faster, for as little as I can. I see that
regular K6-2 500 processors are selling for dirt cheap right now, and
it sounds perfect, but I've heard from a few sites that the 1.1a rev.
board won't go above 400MHz. Does anyone here know for a fact that
this is the case? Runs too hot...or is it too unstable?? Or is it
just mis-information???
For what it's worth, I'm not interested in the "+" CPU's...hard to get
brand new, and they're selling for quite a bit on eBay, so...just
interested in the plain vanilla 500 K6-2.
And...if it won't work on the 1.1a board, can it be tweaked by doing
some solder work on the board to match up to the 1.2a rev board? Any
current working links detailing how to do this??
Many thanks in advance!!!
