I used to have a K6-233. It seemed like from the info that I gathered on it I found that it was a rather hot running CPU and was not easily overclockable. To think about it on my system I had enough trouble getting the system to be stable with the heat sink and fan combo that the store I bought it from stuck on there. Then again I felt that the store short changed me on the cooling solution and after haggling with them for a few weeks I finally got fed up and bought a (much bigger and higher capacity) cooling solution that was specifically designed for that CPU from a different store. Even with the higher capacity cooling solution I noticed that even though I no longer burned my finger on the heat sink it still was quite warm when the system was in Windows mode. For some reason it was always much cooler when the system was in Linux mode. (After the troubles that I went though with not only the CPU mess, but also the bad Yamaha clone and the error prone Samsung drive that finally crashed, that became the last system that I ever bought mostly whole from a computer store. The last three systems that I put together, I was careful to get quality parts from around town and the Internet and just assemble it all from scratch.) > > > Man!
