Ron;
I would double (triple) check the voltage settings on the mobo
the K6-2 500 cpu uses 2.2volts as opposed to the 166 pentium's 3.3volt.
I think I remember some K6-2s that were 2.3 and 2.4volts too.
It should say on the cpu what voltage it is.
For 2.2volt the 5ehm/5eh5 switch two should be set:
1-off
2-on
3-off
4-off
5-off
JP1:
1-2-close
3-4-close
The power supply should be adequate some systems ran that cpu on on  a
145watt supply.
My best advice - make sure the cpu is inserted fully/properly with no bent
pins
 then take the cpu to a friend or a shop and have it tested if it still
doesn't work.
That's a good fast board the cpu should work fine if everything is
configured correctly

Subject: [PCBUILD] Can Not Post with K6-2


> I am attempting to upgrade an older system with a AT/ATX Soyo SY-5EHM/5EH5
V1.1 Super 7 motherboard.  I have upgraded the Pentium 166 >processor to an
AMD K6-2 500 (used & purchased off eBay). This AMD CPU is on the approved
upgrade list within the Soyo manual. I have reset all the required
motherboard jumper settings to correspond with the AMD CPU and have added
memory Dimms capable of 100mz bus speed, but the system will not post. I get
nothing on the monitor. I have checked and double checked the jumper
settings and have even reset them all back to the original settings,
reinstalled the Pentium 166 CPU and booted it up to assure that the AGP
video card was good. Before I assume the AMD processor is bad, my question
is: The Mini AT Enlight PC case I am using only has a 200 watt(max)power
supply. Is it possible that the motherboard and CPU are under
>  powered, preventing a post. From what I can find the AMD CPU only
requires 25 watts, so I'm preplexed.
