If DX7 or later is installed then just run dxdiag. Alternatively CPUZ, CPUID
or AIDA32 are free utilities.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The best way, Don, is to take off the hsf and look at the chip. Any
other method will probably show you how the machine is set up...not
always the true speed of the chip.


Have a nice week...

AMD K6-2: 300 - 333 MHz
Is that any help?
You should be ok on 333Mhz anyway.

Try this

If you notice a burning smell try it on a lower setting :O|

Or, if you don't want to go pulling a working machine apart, download and
run CPU-Z or Aida32 Enterprise system. They will tell you exactly what your
CPU is.

How would you know this? Have you tested each program?...with every
machine in the world?

This only one true way to tell. Anything else...yer guessin'.

In case of K6/2 you're absolutely correct. Their processor ID string does
not reveal the manufactured speed of it. I ran all the available utilities
on my old K6/2-350 overclocked to 366MHz and not one utility indicated the
label speed only the actual running speed.
In case of later processors the processor ID string does indicate the
manufactured speed.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I stand corrected. Thanks for checking that out AZ.
