Actually, Russian brides are always welcome here ;>) I think what you're referring to is the fact that AMD wanted to preserve compatibility with older motherboards with limited multipliers when the K6-2 came out. What they did was tell the cpu to interpret a 2X multiplier as 6X. In other words, 2x66=400, 2x75=450, 2x83=500, etc. "Experiment #4" <bogus@ hiding.bol> wrote in message news:9b9bfq$p3j$1@news7.svr.pol.co.uk... > I know this isn't the exact Ng but it beats "visit my site", "Russian > brides" and "get rich quick" > > I'm having problems setting the bus speed for my AMD K6-2 500Mhz processor. > I know that there is no such thing as a 500Mhz main board frequency.
