Make sure you have the FSB set for 100, not 66.

You may need to update your BIOS (using a flash utility from the mobo maker), cos the K6-2+ is (quite) new and there are some older boards which don't know about it.

Yeh, yeh, the multiplier is set to 5, but the bus speed to 66. Set the bus speed to 100MHZ.

I would do a CPU test also......if all the jumper settings are correct. I have a K6-3+ 450 and until I upgraded my mobo it only posted as a K6-2 400. When I ran the CPU performance tests inside of Windows it performed and posted as a K6-3 (still not + though) 450.....inside of Windows. See if that works. As suggested earlier make sure the FSB settings are correct (100mhz).
