AMD 333 AFR

[rlpos]

I have acquired an Aopen AX59Pro M/B and a AMD 333-66 afr chip with the Made for Windows NT and Windows 95 or could be 98.(I can't tell even with a magnifying glass) Now I'm not new to overclocking and I intend to overclock this one but I am looking for suggestions. I am going to fire it off at 4.5 x 75 for 337mhz untill it is up and running and then try to go up from there. Has anyone worked with this chip before. And what does the AFR stand for? Is this chip a 3D NOW. Cant find much info on it

K6-2 all have 3D-Now!, no matter what speed grade.

The three-letter suffix is an encoding of physical form, core voltage, and max temperature.

An AFR is socket-7, 2.2V, 70°C.

If your board does the PCI and AGP bus speeds correctly, then your best bet with a (95 MHz bus incapable) 333AFR-66 would be 4.0x 83 MHz. A 333 without the extra "-66" marking obviously is best run at its native 3.5x 95 MHz setting.

Well I am at 377mhz with64 meg of 72 pin memory and standard 2.2voltage on the 68 mhz fsb.Cpu temp is 32C When I go to the 83mhz fsb the video seems to be broken.It boots and runs but it appears the video is in waves. I am running a Real3d 16meg pci card.will 128 meg of pc100 memory help and/or an AGP video card. I want more!

I think the game I was running was incapatable with my video card. All other video seems fine and I think they recommend a 3dfx card instead of direct 3d card.I am now running at 475mhz(95fsb x 5) and still at2.2 volts with the temp at 24C for about 2 hours now. Should I try for more.Using standard heatsink and fan with thermal compound
