Can I use K6-2 366 on Supermicro P5MMS98?

[Dave Chan]

Trying to upgrade my computer with a faster processor, can I use K6-2 366MHz
on a Supermicro P5MMS98?

Nope, it will support up to a K6-2 300. Though you could in theory use a K6-2
366 and run it at the slower clock speed(66/75 vs. 100). I don't know if this
is practical though...

Well, reading the next reply saying it supports a K6-2 300, I'd say it supports
a 400.

Run it at 2*66. K6-2/K6-III CPUs think it's a 6.0 not 2.0. So you get 400MHz.
Voltage should be at 2.2v, like a K6-2 300.

=============================================================

I currently run a K6-2/350 CPU(same mtrbd.) and it doesn't report upon
boot-up that it's a 350 installed. However, cpu id s/w and other utlitly
test will report a 350 installed. I "like" to think I'm enjoying all the
benefits of a 350, however it is better than the 200 I was running before.
You can install the 366 but will your results be like mine? If you have the
latest bios upgrade it suppose to offically support up to 300Mhz. So far, I
haven't seen anything new update to go beyond that.

good luck -----Willy
