AMD K-6/2 333 on 66mg bus mobo

[WildTech]

I have a customer machine that was built by another company. The machine runs an AMD K-6/2 333 on a TXPRO 2 mobo. The machine runs fairly well but locks up while running multiple applications or under a stress test. It sticks in my mind that this processor requires a 95mhz bus. This would certainly explain my lock ups. Can anyone confirm my suspicion?? Thanks

You would think that 66 mhz would be a more stable setting than 95 mhz. AMD has a few patches. Maybe there is one for the 333.

what bus and multiplier are you running. I have the same combo overclocked slightly 5.5*66 = 366. its in a 66 only board and it runs great.

Thanks for the replys guys. I had standard settings in place for the 333. 5 x 66. Just for giggles I did replace that processor with an AMD 300\2 and it works perfectly. I then took the 333 and swapped it into another board and it also works great!! Go Figure???? Alls well that ends well. The customers happy! Thanks Again

Speaking of swapping parts Had a soyo board
that wouldn't let any NICS that put in it work, anything else worked fine in all the slots, had me running circles for 2.5 days
