I am using a $70 retail EFA board with the K6 266mhz ( www.efacorp.com
). It had no documentation for the 266 but I noticed jumper settings that
matched the K6's specs. Viola! I have a 66mhz K6 that benches @ around
Pentium 412mhz. This means that the BIOS doesn't recognize the chip's
speed yet the operating system does.
Later, I downloaded a BIOS upgrade from the EFA site and was pleased at
how easy and well it went. BIOS reports 266mhz now.
Pretty good deal @ 70 bucks for the board and 120 for the chip.
Of course, within hours of use, I'm already used to the speed and ready for
400+mhz.... welcome to the world of multimedia computing, people!
