Gigabyte and k6-2

[Guest]

I have a Gigabyte motherboard GA-586-TX3 and was wondering if I can put a AMD K6-2 500 CPU on it. And if I can what are the setting for the jumpers?

You can only go as high as 400 Mhz as the FSB is only present up to 66 Mhz (66*6=396). Get a 2.2 V K6-2/400

Do you already posses the cpu? If not try looking into the k6-3 line of cpu's they are alot better do to the fact they have onchip second level cache (256k).

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!
