I'm thinking of getting an AMD K6-II 500 chip and board for running
GPL.  At first I'll only have a Voodoo 1 video card, but will eventually
get a V3 AGP card.  I realize there are better systems out there, but
the price is right....besides, it's gotta be better than my P200 (oc'd
to 266).  Anyone have any thoughts on this upgrade???

Thanks in advance,

Rick

I have a k6-2 550 and a voodoo 3 3000 you will have no problems with this
setup and you will probably max out the frame rate at 36 the majority of the
time. I had a 350 recently and this also didnt struggle although it wasnt
maxing out. I typically use 960x720 everything on but mirrors at cars only
(probably could turn them on as well, but not really bothered). I normally
race online, but off I have it set to 14 other cars (the 350 setting I was
using) It runs 19 carswith no probs. I had a cyrix 200 with a voodoo 1 and
that did struggle.

I have the K6 II 500, with a V3 and everything works perfectly at max frame
rate. You'll have no problems!

Hey guys.

upgrading to a 500, 533 or 550 (little more expensive). Any stories
about overclocking these to 550/575/600?

Would they work OK with a GeForceII MX?

I have a K6 2 450 on an FIC 503+ running at 500 (5.0 X 100) with no
problems.  I increased case and chip cooling, though.
There is a lot of talk about the new Duron chips and overclocking to 950,
but it's still too soon to tell how they will really be.  Should be more
info in a few weeks or a month. I'm expecting to have to upgrade for GP3 ;-)
