The 300A sure is a great (cheap) option for all us gpl ***s. I picked one
up on the weekend here in Sydney, Oz for $170aud, which is just a bargain.
However to get stability at 450MHz i had to up the core voltage to 2.2, so
today i bought the biggest fan i could find (6x6inches)) which will
hopefully keep it cool. I have it slotted in an AbitBH6, 128mb with an 8mb
Thriller. Gpl with a full grid & full graphics at 36fps is a sight to
behold. I now have it networked to my P233-V1000, and i've been trying to
test it out with my wife, who's using a crappy joystick, but she has failed
to make it thru Curva Grande on around 15-20 attempts...hehe...oh well, at
least it works !

Cheers Phil

KA-6100 board (used it since it's an AT board)!  Love it (for now)!  I'd
thought about the K6-2, but (ashamedly) I feel the Slot 1 has the most
EXPANDABILITY available (as of now, anyway).  This is the first Intel chip
I've owned since my 486-33 I ditched 6 years ago! Counting a 64MB PC-100
DIMM, my upgrade cost was less than $300US!

Phil,

I paid a little more than you ($180), but mine fired up straight away
at 450MHz using the standard core voltage of 2.0V. Same went for my
266 Celeron at 400MHz (which I only got 6 weeks ago!).
I am also using the Abit BH6, 64MB Pc100, and an 8MB INtel i740 2D/3D,
coupled with a 12MB Voodoo2.

BTW, my S-code for the CPU is SL32A.

The 300A is indeed a great bargain.  I've done 4 systems now with the 300A.
3 of them booted to 450MHZ first attempt and at core 2.0 voltage.  1
required 2.3 volts, and still wouldn't work with N2 or GPL.  Everything else
worked fine though.  All 4 used a BH6 Abit mb.
