Dear all,
I'm also running a C6 200 MHz. It runs perfectly. I'm using it in my
sever, i'm
running samba on it and other experimental things. I have only 32 Mbytes
of
memory in it this slows the computer down quite a lot.
It depends on what board you are using and all. I mean if you have an
old board
that doesn't have the 2.2 V setting for the K6 i would definitely choose
for the
C6 or even better the winchip. But if i would have a 2.2 V setting i
would
choose for a K6 as it is also very cheap an is a real runner. That is if
it's
your first PC if it is like a experimental or a server that doesn't have
a high
load i'd might still choose for the C6 or winchip. I did in the case of
my
server / experimental system.
By the way i'm using a IBM 6x86 (Cyrix this is for my cable modem
masquerading computer with apache server sendmail DNS etc) Than a (C6 as
server with samba, apache server, xfree with windowmaker, sendmail, DNS
etc) Than my third one this is the one i use most. It mainly runs
Windows :-( as i need it for school. I will soon also run Linux again, i
didn't have time to put it on the computer anyway this one is using a
K6-2 it's quite fast to my feeling it's much faster than my computer at
work which is a PII 233MHz with IDE HD, mine has UW SCSI)
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Joop Boonen.
