I just checked the website for my local PC store, and found that they're sellin AMDK62-3D 500mhz chips for £42.... so I'm off to the store to upgrade once again... hehehehe shame though, I can only o/c this to 550mhz, thats the max my new board will do.. and no, I'm not going to upgrade that again.. LOLh.a.p.p.y, I'm h.a.p.p.y, I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm h.a.p.p.y

was on an AMD K6-2 350 before, and I've just benchmarked the 500 using SiSoft Sandra (I'm sure you've heard of it) running the CPU Benchmark and Multimedia benchmark, and it worked out that it's a lil faster (cpu) than a PIII 500, but a lil slower on the FPU, and is identical to a K6-3 500 in both, so I'm pretty happy with it. I got the CPU and a new Cooler for £51.. all things considered I reckon thats pretty good  IP: Logged |

They're not made in Asia (the CPU's). They are made in the US although AMD is opening a Fab plant in Germany to make the next generation Athlon. A lot of the memory chips are made in Asia though.IP: Logged |

well, lets put it this way... here the PIII 500 costs £158 right now... and the K62 500 is as fast as that is, but only cost me £51 IP: Logged |
