I have an AMD-K6 333Mhz (I think). I recently purchased a game which needs 350Mhz.
I would like to upgrade by only changing the cpu. What options do I have? Can I upgrade to an AMD-K6 350Mhz or something a little faster without changing the motherboard? Thanks. Any info will be appreciated.

It all depends on what motherboard you have. Find the make and model number of your motherboard and do a search for it on the manufactuer's web site. They will tell you up to what processor speed the mobo supports. Worst case senerio you can just purchase a new motherboard they are really not that much. I needed a replacement for a amd 700mhz and picked up one on ebay for like 30 bucks the the slot a processor was like 15 bucks. If you have a motherboard that has jumpers to increase the fsb or jumper emulators in the bios you can push it up a little if you are only trying to get like 17mhz more clock speed and that will cost you nothing but you will need a motherboard schmatic on the manufactuer's web site.

What MOBO do you have?

I'm not sure about the motherboard. I'm pretty sure it is a socket 7 motherboard. The BIOS ID is: ACR5D000-M12-98062-R01-C2 R0 EN

The Chipset is: ALi M1531 rev 179

V58XA 97114-2N 48.38401.02N was printed on the motherboard. Can anyone help me figure out what motherboard I have? Thanks again.
