I remember reading this article...  Wow...

I built my second computer with a K6-2 300MHz. I remember how cool these would run compared to the Pentiums. I ran one for a day or two with no heatsink on it, just for giggles.

My first computer when i was just a boy was 5 years ago, i remember nothing of it except that it was windows 98 and had an easy acessable DOS command. One time, i opened dos by restarting it in dos mode and, unbenounce to me, hacked into my naighbors computer who was connected without firewall to IBM. Glad my mom stopped me.

Those were the good ol days

It's funny to look back and see a nVidia "scientist" endorsing AMD technology.

I have a functioning AMD K6-2 500mhz CPU here with motherboard. I've kept it safe and sound all these years to remind me how i love this socket 7 variant :)

my very first "custom" pc was a k6 II 333

had a blistering 8gb hdd

and 256 mg of ddr

omg it was funky

I even purchased the k6 II 500 when it came out later an UPgraded it lol

 

put you gotta remember this was back when the pentiums were "new" and you could still rock a 486 DX4 for 100 mhz over the 75 mhz pentiums

so a 333 was blazing fast

My first build was of the K6-2 at 500Mhz.  Had 256 Megs of RAM, a Voodoo 3 3000, a Creative Labs MPEG decoder card, a Creative Live Gamer soundcard, and a US Robotics 56K dial up modem.  Those were the days.  Oh memories.
