a couple of quick questions

[ss69nova]

I sit possable to run two procers of diffrent speeds (mhz) on the same mobo?

like amd 333 and a 533 both are K6's?

or what about a 1700+ and a 1600+ ?


if so where could i get a mobo for the first set?

Well to my know how, basic XP cpus arent Dual capable unless you mode them. K6-2's are dual period (i may be corrected) Cuz ive never seen a dual k6-2 mobo be4. But if running 2 different speeds should be ok, if anything the faster one may show as the same speed as the slower one. but i guess it could depened on the mobo

i think it "could" run 2 different speed CPU (well, AMD only anyway, PIII need matched chip). but even if u could, the faster CPU will only running at the speed of the slower one!!

You can run 2 procs of different speeds but they will both run at the speed of the slower one. It is recommended to get matched, same speed pairs though.

AFAIK there are no dual boards for the K6.

Yeah my guess is you'd have to run both CPU's at the speed of the slower one.

There are dual socket 7 boards - but none that are capable of powering a K6-2 chip. (None have 100 MHz FSB) I think I've seen someone successfully run two Pentium 233 MMX chips on one of those boards, though. Not worth the time and effort if you don't already have the board, if you ask me. If you're starting from scratch, stick to a dual AMD or a dual P3 solution.
