Use older Asus board for amd k6 --2 or k6 -3

[Ivan Liao]

I believe the TX chipset is a 66Mhz fsb, if you are able to grab a AMD K6-2
333 it might work out for you. Any thing after that, you might just want to
look at the AMD page @ www.amd.com to look for their settings.

Check the Asus Website (www.asus.com.tw). You may need a bios upgrade.

I have used many TX chipset motherboards to run newer AMD and Cyrix
chips. What's relevant is that the motherboard supports the proper
voltage for the chip, and provides you with a bus frequency and
multiplier to run the chip at it's designed rate. Look out for the PCI
bus speeds when running above 66MHz. If the board supports these
requirements, flash the bios to the most recent revision (so that the
board recognizes the correct CPU) and you should be fine with just
about any TX board.

This is just general info, make sure you check the Asus site for the
details.
