Pros: Reliable, inexpensive, quality performance, speeds up to 550 MHz
Cons: no speeds over 550MHz available yet

I recently built a computer for a friend featuring the K6-2 processor and he is completely satisfied with it. It performs as well as a Pentium II and with higher speeds available (up to 550MHz). The AMD K6-2 processor is used commonly in computers...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: You Got To Be Joking!

AMD is great! Throw off the shackles of Intel! Get yourself a K6-2, K6-3 or a Althon. You won't be sorry.

If you have read any of my other reviews, price vs. performance is always something I try to address.

When I got into the IBM...

Pros: Low Cost, Good Performance, Dependable
Cons: none

I've read some of the con reviews on the AMD K6-2, and wonder how many problems are actually attributable to the chip itself, and how many are due to a poorly assembled or set up system. Personally I gave up on commercial built systems back in the days...

Pros: great durability quality and price
Cons: none

I have always been a big fan of Amd, and I have been using a k6-2 500 MHZ for a couple of months now. I have no complaints about this processor. In fact I like these processors better then the pentium even if they are cheaper. If they were the same...

Pros: Easy to install, pretty fast, has 3D-NOW! technology
Cons: Defect rate is slightly higher than INTEL

About 2 years ago, when I built my first system by hand, I got my first AMD K6-2, it was a 333mhz processor. Before I got my AMD K6-2, I had been relying on a measly 50 mhz 486 for my computing needs. That was my first AMD K6-2. Now, I am currently...

Pros: Yet more mileage out of a Socket 7 board
Cons: It's not an Athlon. It's not a Pentium III. But it can top a Celeron.

Just picked up a K6-2+ 475 processor from TigerDirect.com. These chips are hard to find, but worth the search. Unlike the older K6-2 series, these chips run cooler (they were designed for notebooks) and at lower voltage (1.9 - 2.1 volts), making them a...

Pros: Great upgrade for a cheap price.
Cons: None.

Until I got my AMD K6-2 450MHZ computer I use to be stuck on a IBM Aptiva Pentium 166MHZ. You can just imagine the difference. At first I was completely amazed how fast the computer was, no more waiting 10 minutes for Internet Explorer 5 to load,...

Pros: Cheap and fast
Cons: Not as good as the Pentium counter parts.

I just recently paid $52 for an AMD K6-2 3D Now 500 MHz processor. For those of you who don't know a whole lot about CPU's, $52 is a very good price for any modern processor. So far, I have had no trouble with this at all, and the upgrade what...

Pros: Cheap; Budget Desktop and Server Performance; Reliable
Cons: Runs Hot; Can't outperform the latest Celerons

I purchased the AMD K6 2 - 500mhz (K62) processor early this year because my slow web server was in need of upgrading and I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars for the more expensive competitor's products -- namely, Intel's Celeron chip.
...

Pros: stable and affordable
Cons: hmm, there are cons?

The year, 1999

The Place? My Desktop

The Project? upgrade from a K6 233 cpu

Mission accomplished.

I ordered the CPU along with the motherboard, to replace the old K6 i had been running with for just over a...

Pros: Inexpensive, fast processor.
Cons: Based on Socket 7, which isn't supporting other "new" technologies, like PC133, or Gigahertz chips.

The K6-2 Is AMD's first answer to the Pentium 2 chips. Clocking in at anywhere between 266-550mhz, this powerful, but inexpensive processor made gamers who didn't want to spend a fortune on they're processors, and productivity users, who didn't want a...

Pros: speed, value, effect on old machines
Cons: none

Before the current computer I own now, I had a 486 with 32MB RAM and a 1MB graphics card. It was acceptable for word processing and weak programs, but to use it on the internet was painfully slow. Since I didn't have enough money to go for a Pentium...

Pros: Cheap, upto 550Mhz now
Cons: poor FPU, dated technology

There are many reasons for buying a K6-2 Processor, the main one would be that now the 500Mhz version come with a very impressive £40 ($60) price tag. With that speed at so little cost this chip will have a place in the PC market for a while to come yet....

Pros: price
Cons: only as fast as 550mhz

The K6 line of processor will go down in history as the product which started it all for AMD. They were the first chip to legitimize the idea of owning a cpu from someone other than Intel.

I cannot say enough good things about this chip. I...

Pros: Fast and cheap
Cons: Still uses old Socket 7 technology, not supported anymore

Before using this processor, I had a Cyrix M2-300 processor. I bought it 18 months ago, mainly because it was very cheap. This meant upgrading my motherboard to an Asus P5A-B, a so-called Super Socket 7 motherboard. It supports bus speeds up to 100 Mhz....
