K6-2, 500 MHz (MPN-AMD-K-2/500BOX) Processor: AMD K6/2 kicks the rear of the Pentium 2

Sat, 3 Nov 2001 23:19:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phungus - Right now, you can purchase a high-end AMD K6/2 chip, around 500-550 mhz, for less than $100 bucks. In fact, I've seen them for less than $50. Combine that with a motherboard which costs less than $100, or a premade computer kit, and you've got...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ia_young - At some point last year, well more than a year ago, I decided that I needed to boost the speed of my computer a bit. I didn’t want to spend too much; I only really wanted to upgrade my processor. I had a look at what was on the market and I was quite...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jefhatfield - When I first got my Compaq Presario laptop in 1999, I was reluctant to have a non-Pentium 3 processor be the machine's CPU. But at $1299.00 sounded better than buying a much more expensive Presario laptop with a 500 MHz Pentium 3.

At the time,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chandlerbingco - I was upgrading my computer last year, and I really didn't want to spend $250 on an Intel processor (I don't have that much money to spend, I'm a student). I was looking for something relatively fast and new that I could use for general usage. For...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - Before the current computer I own now, I had a 486 with 32MB RAM and a 1MB graphics card. It was acceptable for word processing and weak programs, but to use it on the internet was painfully slow. Since I didn't have enough money to go for a Pentium...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dentinater - If you were ever thinking of buying a AMD K6 2 think again. It is the worst thing you can ever buy. I had a AMD K6 2 400 and i almost smashed the thing cause it would make me so mad. I had so many problems with it, it wasn't funny. Sometimes the computer...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author antoniof - I was reading about this processor on Tom Hardware site, www.tomshardware.com, and the review there was really positive. However I tought I cannot have this, it is only for laptops and will not be sold on retail stores. Wrong. I found it on the catalog...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jdstevenson - Just picked up a K6-2+ 475 processor from TigerDirect.com. These chips are hard to find, but worth the search. Unlike the older K6-2 series, these chips run cooler (they were designed for notebooks) and at lower voltage (1.9 - 2.1 volts), making them a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moregon - I've read some of the con reviews on the AMD K6-2, and wonder how many problems are actually attributable to the chip itself, and how many are due to a poorly assembled or set up system. Personally I gave up on commercial built systems back in the days...

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 21:59:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cosine - The K6 line of processor will go down in history as the product which started it all for AMD. They were the first chip to legitimize the idea of owning a cpu from someone other than Intel.

I cannot say enough good things about this chip. I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author majorowl - I'll admit straight-out that I'm a big fan of AMD, and with good reason. I've got three systems running K6 technology chips (two K6-2's and one K6-III). I've read lots of the reviews of this chip and there seem to be some misconceptions floating...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CyrixDes - The K6-2 came out a long time ago to offer an alternative to the Intel Pentium II and the Cyrix MII. As for speed it offered very respectable speed but never quite beat the Pentium II. However this CPU is still going strong available in speeds of 500,...

Fri, 6 Oct 2000 14:01:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deboard - A while back, I badly needed to upgrade my ailing computer with a new processor. The reason for this was that I had a Cyrix MII processor, and my computer would lock up approximately every 20 minutes or so. The MII is known for its heat problems, and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ay84 - Both Affordable and Powerful, the K6 2 seems to have everything a gamer needs. Maybe it's not the best choice for hardcore gamers who want 60 frames a second 24/7/365, but it's good enough for great performance on most applications. It's also good...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author orion522 - If you were desperately in need of a new computer or your motherboard got fried and you just needed to get up and running, then I guess this would be for you. I purchased an AMD-K6II 500 processor awhile back because it was supposed to out-perform...

It crunches data so quickly and so correctly that I saw no need to replace it.

It's mated to a Tekram motherboard with an ATI graphics card and a maxtor...
