Make sure your motherboard is officially supported (or claims to support
the chip, at least).  It uses different voltages than any of the
Pentiums of yore.

I have a K6-233 and a K6-300.  Both run flawlessly.  And, they're
incredibly fast for the money.  But make sure you have a motherboard
that supports them (I have a FIC PA-2007 for the K6-233 and a FIC
PA-503+ for the K6-300).

I just got such a thing for testing. I see random
"signal 11" messages when I try to do serious
things - looks like cache and/or memory flakyness.
Anyone having better experiences?
Something I have to look at in motherboard /
BIOS setup?
(TX chipset, Award 4.51 BIOS)
