Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone has opinion on this topic or anyone heard it in the past. Probably no because this is a histoty now. But anyway...
I am planning to put amd-k6 400 on p-1 bord. The here is that p-1 boards are designed for p1(p54c)-(75-233mhz) or p1(p55c=mmx)(166-233mhz) cpu's. amd's k5/k6/k6-2/k6-3 (socket7/super socket7)are backwards compatible to p-1's (socket5) meaning that you have no problem to use p1 cpu's on boards made for k6-2/3. I'm trying to do vice-versa. The main problem is voltage. p1 works at 3.3v (166mmx and up works at 2.8v. While k6-2 works at 2.2v I read some info and some guide about it and the "magic" thing is that k6-2 processor understands x2 multiplier as x6 (p-1 boards don't have such multiplier , only up to x2.5-x.3) and , as a result , working at 400mhz!!! The only (hardest) thing is needed - is to manyally make a 2.2 volt stabilizer and "unplug" the default mb stabilizer. i.e make some small ~10 componets sheme and connect it to vcore pins of cpu.
This is a really hard task. I'm goona do that mostly out of curiosity if it works, not that i need so much that "p1-400"
Just wanted to know if anyone have some experience in such things.
