Running OK at 6X50 but I would not say it is any faster.

CPU Properties:
CPU Type AMD K6-2, 300 MHz (6 x
50)
CPU Alias Chomper Extended,
K6-2-CXT
CPU Stepping CXT/A
L1 Code Cache 32 KB
L1 Data Cache 32 KB
L2 Cache 0


Still no L2 cache I went into the BIOS but there was no option there
to enable it, I think maybe there will only be an option in the BIOS when
it is set up for a Cyrix (maybe I will have to see).

Also there may be more speeds availabe than listed in my manual,
the web page I gave for the mobo shows a 4.5 setting so 4.5X66=300
might work and be the best setting.

I can also try overclocking but at the moment I don't think it
is any faster than the Cyrix but I will try to to some proper tests/
benchmarks.
