My cyrix 6x86 p233 will not run at its right speed. I have a ASUS SP97 V motherboard and I have obtained the manual for it from the ASUS website. I have set the correct Voltage and FSB and BS jumpers to the correct settings and when I boot up Win 98SE After a while Explore crashes or I am playing games suddenly that Blue Screen Of Death appears and I am required to restart my PC and it allways happens. Right now I am running it at 200MHz when the CPU should be able to cope with 233MHz. Can anybody Help!

The 200 mhz speed you're set at really shouldn't be a problem. If you have different memory laying around you could try changing out your ram to a higher quality.

Summary: you get the 6x multiplier from setting the actual multiplier at 2. just like the P233 MMX uses 1.5 as 3.5. running 3*66MHz gives 400MHz. btw, K6-IIIs are still available and also the most sought after...
