That darn Intel jingle...

[John Boffemmyer IV]

impressive. a LOT of people on the ps/2 groups are saying only the 
ibm/intel chips work and rarely do others in the ps/2 machines. 
k6-III was/is the AMD mobile technologies socket 7 chip. it had more 
cache and added functions for power saving, etc over the standard k6 
series. it also allowed for more speed (maxed out at 575mhz instead 
of 550mhz of the k6-2). there were a few claims of a k6-III stock 
chip rated at 600mhz back in '99, but I never saw it. most likely, it 
was a k6-III 550mhz overclocked to 600mhz with a better heatsink/fan.
